Abstract:

Objective: To explore the association of serum uric acid (UA) level and the risk of Parkinson disease (PD) in Chinese. Methods: The population-based cohort study was conducted in subjects over 50 years old in districts of Shanghai from 2011 through end of 2017. The individuals had base line serum uric acid levels determined and were followed for incidence of PD. The association of serum uric acid level and risk of PD was analyzed with Cox regression. Results: The Cox regression analysis revealed no significant association between hyperuricemia and the incidence of PD without (HR=2.072, 95%CI: 0.701-6.121, P=0.188), or with adjustment with age, gender and other confoun-ding factors (HR=3.368, 95%CI: 0.904-12.546, P=0.070). Conclusion: The prospective study shows no significant asso-ciation between hyperuricemia and the incidence of PD.
