ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Many studies have examined the positive association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). Dyslipidemia has been reported to be prevalent in patients with diabetes; thus, lipid levels and the drugs for dyslipidemia could influence the development of PD in patients with DM. This study aimed to examine the association between lipid levels and the risk of PD in individuals with DM and evaluate whether the association changes with the use of statins.METHODS:
This nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study included individuals with DM according to the International Classification of Diseases between 2009 and 2012. Among the 2,361,633 patients with DM followed up for up to 9 years, 17,046 were newly diagnosed with PD. Patients with DM were categorized into quartile groups of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.RESULTS:
There was an inverse association between lipid levels and PD development in the unadjusted model; however, this relationship became less significant after adjusting the use of statins in triglyceride and total cholesterol. In the analysis stratified by statin use, total cholesterol level was associated with decreased PD risk in non-statin users with DM; however, there was no significant association between total cholesterol level and PD risk in statin users.CONCLUSION:
We found an inverse relationship between lipid levels and PD risk in patients with DM, which was influenced by statin use. Future studies about optimal target lipid levels relevant to PD risk considering statin dose in DM patients are needed.Key words
