Association between Low Blood Pressure and Subsequent Risk of Parkinson's Disease in Older Adults Aged ≥75 Years.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The association between blood pressure (BP) and incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) in older adults remains uncertain. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between BP (high or low) and PD incidence in adults aged ≥75 years.

Methods

In this nationwide population-based cohort study, we enrolled participants aged ≥75 years without a prior PD diagnosis who had undergone health examination provided by the Korean National Health Insurance Service at least once from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2012. The participants were followed up until December 31, 2019, or the date of their death. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the risk of PD depending on systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), and pulse pressure.
