Zhu J, Cui Y, Zhang J, Yan R, Su D, Zhao D, Wang A, Feng T. Temporal trends in the prevalence of Parkinson's disease from 1980 to 2023: a systematic review and meta-analysis. THE LANCET. HEALTHY LONGEVITY 2024; 5:e464-e479. [PMID: 38945129 DOI: 10.1016/s2666-7568(24)00094-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, exhibiting an upward trend in prevalence. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of Parkinson's disease, temporal trends between 1980 and 2023, and variations in prevalence by location, age, sex, survey period, sociodemographic index (SDI), human development index (HDI), and study characteristics (sample size, diagnostic criteria, and data source). METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis we searched PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Global Health for observational studies that reported Parkinson's disease prevalence in the general population from database inception to Nov 1, 2023. We included studies if they were original observational investigations, had participants from the general population or community-based datasets, and provided numerical data on the prevalence of Parkinson's disease either with 95% CIs or with sufficient information to calculate 95% CIs. Studies were excluded if they were conducted in a specific population, had a sample size smaller than 1000, or were review articles, case reports, protocols, meeting abstracts, letters, comments, short communications, posters, and reports. The publication characteristics (first author and publication year), study location (countries, WHO regions, SDI, and HDI), survey period, study design, diagnostic criteria, data source, participant information, and prevalence data were extracted from articles using a standard form. Two authors independently evaluated eligibility, and discrepancies were resolved through discussion with the third author. We used random effect models to pool estimates with 95% CIs. Estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to assess the temporal trend in prevalence of Parkinson's disease. The study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42022364417. FINDINGS 83 studies from 37 countries were eligible for analysis, with 56 studies providing all-age prevalence, 53 studies reporting age-specific prevalence, and 26 studies providing both all-age and age-specific prevalence. Global pooled prevalence of Parkinson's disease was 1·51 cases per 1000 (95% CI 1·19-1·88), which was higher in males (1·54 cases per 1000 [1·17-1·96]) than in females (1·49 cases per 1000 [1·12-1·92], p=0·030). During different survey periods, the prevalence of Parkinson's disease was 0·90 cases per 1000 (0·48-1·44; 1980-89), 1·38 cases per 1000 (1·17-1·61; 1990-99), 1·18 cases per 1000 (0·77-1·67; 2000-09), and 3·81 cases per 1000 (2·67-5·14; 2010-23). The EAPC of Parkinson's disease prevalence was significantly higher in the period of 2004-23 (EAPC 16·32% [95% CI 6·07-26·58], p=0·0040) than in the period of 1980-2003 (5·30% [0·82-9·79], p=0·022). Statistically significant disparities in prevalence were observed across six WHO regions. Prevalence increased with HDI or SDI. Considerable variations were observed in the pooled prevalence of Parkinson's disease based on different sample sizes or diagnostic criteria. Prevalence also increased with age, reaching 9·34 cases per 1000 (7·26-11·67) among individuals older than 60 years. INTERPRETATION The global prevalence of Parkinson's disease has been increasing since the 1980s, with a more pronounced rise in the past two decades. The prevalence of Parkinson's disease is higher in countries with higher HDI or SDI. It is necessary to conduct more high-quality epidemiological studies on Parkinson's disease, especially in low SDI countries. FUNDING National Nature Science Foundation of China.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2024; 123:106560. [PMID: 38518544 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2024.106560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to verify whether the combined use of Da Dingfengzhu and Western medicine in treating Parkinson's disease (PD) can lead to therapeutic efficacy and symptom alleviation, thereby achieving a complementary and synergistic effect. METHODS In this study, 158 patients were initially enrolled, with 116 eligible patients randomly divided into a control and an observation group. The control group received levodopa/benserazide and pramipexole, while the observation group received Da Dingfengzhu combined with levodopa/benserazide and pramipexole for 12 weeks. Baseline patient characteristics, adverse reactions, and blood samples were collected at baseline and 12 weeks post-treatment. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was used to assess symptom severity at baseline, four weeks into treatment, and 12 weeks post-treatment. RESULTS Adverse reactions during treatment were similar in both groups, suggesting that the combined therapy in the observation group did not increase adverse effects. Both groups showed improvements in UPDRS scores, with the observation group displaying more significant symptom alleviation at 4 and 12 weeks. Moreover, the observation group exhibited more pronounced increases in serum neurotrophic factor-3 and dopamine levels and greater reductions in oxidative stress and inflammatory response markers. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the combination of Da Dingfengzhu with levodopa/benserazide and pramipexole for treating PD shows significant clinical potential and is worthy of broader application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent decades, China has experienced a rapid increase in the number of elderly individuals and life expectancy, as well as industrialization, which is associated with an increased prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, inconsistent results have recently been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence and distribution characteristics of PD among individuals aged 45 years and older. METHODS Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we attempted to estimate the prevalence of PD and its distribution characteristics among 19,034 individuals aged 45 years and older residing in 446 communities/villages within 27 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities in mainland China. Cases were established based on a doctor's previous diagnosis. Crude and age-adjusted prevalence rates were calculated and stratified by age, sex, area of residence, education level, marital status, and geographic region. Logistic regression models were used to identify risk factors associated with PD. RESULTS We identified 178 patients with PD among 19,034 residents aged 45 years and older. The crude prevalence was 0.94%, and the age-adjusted prevalence was 0.82% for individuals aged 45 years and older. The prevalence of PD increased with age (P < 0.001). No significant differences were found in terms of sex, area of residence, or education level. Stratified by geographic region, the prevalence of PD was greater in North and Northwest China and lower in southern China (p < 0.001). Multiple regression analyses showed that age was a significant risk factor for PD. CONCLUSION The prevalence of PD increased with age in the Chinese population.

THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. WESTERN PACIFIC 2024; 46:101078. [PMID: 38745974 PMCID: PMC11091691 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanwpc.2024.101078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Background Parkinson's disease (PD) has become a public health concern with global ageing. However, comprehensive assessments of the temporal and geographical trend of PD disease burden in China remain insufficient. This study aimed to examine the burden of PD by age, gender, and geographical region in China during 1990-2021. Methods Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021, we analysed the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALY burden of PD in 33 Chinese provinces/regions. We compared the national figure with the global average and the corresponding estimates from the G20 countries. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to quantify the temporal trends of PD burden during 1990-2021. We further assessed the PD burden by age and gender during 1990-2021. We used a decomposition analysis to investigate the changes in the number of new cases, patients, and deaths of PD during 1990-2021. Findings In 2021, China recorded the highest age-standardised incidence and prevalence of PD among the G20 countries, at 24.3 per 100,000 and 245.7 per 100,000, respectively, figures that were much higher than the global average. During 1990-2021, the age-standardised incidence of PD in China increased by 89.7%, and the age-standardised prevalence by 167.8%, both marking the largest increases among the G20 countries. In contrast, the age-standardised mortality for PD has significantly decreased since 1990, whereas the age-standardised DALY rate for PD has remained relatively unchanged since 1990. The PD burden gradually increased with age, especially in the elderly population aged ≥65 years. During 1990-2021, the burden in males consistently surpassed that in females, with the gender difference widening over time. The increase in new cases and patients of PD was primarily driven by changes in age-specific rates, while the rise in PD-related deaths was largely attributable to population ageing. The disease burden of PD varied considerably across the Chinese provinces. In 2021, age-standardised incidence and prevalence of PD were generally higher in China's southeastern coastal regions than in the western regions, and age-standardised DALY rates were higher in the northern regions than in other regions. Interpretation The disease burden of PD in China has consistently risen over the past three decades, particularly among elderly men. The increasing causative factors and population aging highlight the need for enhancing public health intervention and resource allocation, especially in etiological research, early diagnosis, preventive strategies, and region-specific management for PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease is the main cause of dementia, which is associated with the progressive deterioration of the intelligence and senses. Free radicals are created during oxidative stress in cells, which are considered one of the destructive factors in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, the antifibrillar and antioxidant properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The CeO2 NPs were synthesized and analyzed to reveal the physicochemical and biological properties. The results showed that the CeO2 NPs have unique properties with potent antioxidant activities. The experimental and computational studies showed that the CeO2 NPs interact with the active site of Alpha-synuclein. The existence of hydrogen bonding between O atoms of CeO2 NPs and N-H of adjacent acid amines and the equilibrium distances were confirmed by 1.751 (Leu100), 1.786 (Gln99) and 2.213 Å (Lys97). The minimum free energy binding of L-DOPA drug (as positive control) and CeO2 NPs were negative, resulting interaction between compounds and protein. As a result, these compounds inhibited Alpha-synuclein protein aggregation. In addition, that CeO2 NPs strongly binds with receptor by relative binding energy as compared with L-DOPA drug. These findings revealed that CeO2 NPs prevent Alpha-synuclein fibrillation and can be applied as nano-drug against the Parkinson's disease.

Trends in health service use among persons with Parkinson's disease by rurality: A population-based repeated cross-sectional study. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0285585. [PMID: 37205650 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0285585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The global burden of Parkinson's disease (PD) has more than doubled over the past three decades, and this trend is expected to continue. Despite generally poorer access to health care services in rural areas, little previous work has examined health system use in persons with PD by rurality. We examined trends in the prevalence of PD and health service use among persons with PD by rurality in Ontario, Canada. METHODS We conducted a repeated, cross-sectional analysis of persons with prevalent PD aged 40+ years on April 1st of each year from 2000 to 2018 using health administrative databases and calculated the age-sex standardized prevalence of PD. Prevalence of PD was also stratified by rurality and sex. Negative binomial models were used to calculate rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals comparing rates of health service use in rural compared to urban residents in 2018. RESULTS The age-sex standardized prevalence of PD in Ontario increased by 0.34% per year (p<0.0001) and was 459 per 100,000 in 2018 (n = 33,479), with a lower prevalence in rural compared to urban residents (401 vs. 467 per 100,000). Rates of hospitalizations and family physician visits declined over time in both men and women with PD in rural and urban areas, while rates of emergency department, neurologist, and other specialist visits increased. Adjusted rates of hospitalizations were similar between rural and urban residents (RR = 1.04, 95% CI [0.96, 1.12]), while rates of emergency department visits were higher among rural residents (RR = 1.35, 95% CI [1.27, 1.42]). Rural residents had lower rates of family physician (adjusted RR = 0.82, (95% CI [0.79, 0.84]) and neurologist visits (RR = 0.74, 95% CI [0.72, 0.77]). INTERPRETATION Lower rates of outpatient health service use among persons residing in rural regions, contrasting with higher rates of emergency department visits suggest inequities in access. Efforts to improve access to primary and specialist care for persons with PD in rural regions are needed.

Post treatment with Gastrodin suppresses oxidative stress and attenuates motor disorders following 6-OHDA induced Parkinson disease. Neurosci Lett 2022; 790:136884. [PMID: 36162540 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2022.136884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Researchers are currently trying to find new therapies with better symptomatic activity and fewer side effects to manage Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the protective effect of pre-treatment by Gastrodin (Gst) on a PD model has been evaluated, in the current experimental study, we investigated the symptomatic therapeutic effects of Gst microinjection in the same PD model but in the post-parkinsonism induction condition. METHODS Parkinsonism was induced by unilateral infusion of 6- hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA; 8 μg/ 2 μl/ rat) into the central region of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). After the recovery period and confirmation of parkinsonism, daily Gst treatment in three doses (20, 40, 80 µg/ 2 µ/ rat, continued for ten days with motor monitoring by bar test and rotarod examinations. Moreover, lipid peroxidation and myeloperoxidase activity were evaluated. RESULTS In this model of 6-OHDA-induced parkinsonism, Gst treatment in all three doses showed a dose dependent symptomatic improvement in motor imbalance (P < 0.001) catalepsy (P < 0.001), decreased lipid peroxidation (P < 0.001) and SNc myeloperoxidase activity (P < 0.001) CONCLUSIONS: 6-OHDA induced parkinsonism symptomatically improved behaviorally with Gst post-induction treatment along with decreased markers of oxidative stress and microglial activation. We suggest that this agent is a candidate for symptomatic treatment of human PD.
