- Abstract
- There is a relative lack of evidence on Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with adult height. From the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort, data from 116,139 participants aged 40-80 years who conducted health examinations during 2002-2003 were extracted. Newly occurred PD events were identified during 2004-2013. During a mean follow-up of 9.7 years, 725 participants were newly diagnosed with PD. The crude model showed that taller individuals were at lower risk for PD, but the association became insignificant on adjustments for covariates, particularly age.
