Association of waist circumference with all cause mortality in Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT: Despite many previous studies on the association between metabolic syndrome and Parkinson disease (PD), only few studies have investigated the association between waist circumference (WC) and PD. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between WC and all-cause mortality in patients with PD. Among the whole nationwide population data from Korea National Health Insurance Service, newly diagnosed PD (ICD-10 code G20 and rare intractable disease registration code V124), between 2008 and 2017, were selected.
