Age at menopause predicts age at onset of Parkinson's disease
Copyright policy )Age at menopause predicts age at onset of Parkinson's disease
AbstractWe investigated the association between age at onset of Parkinson's disease (PD) and fertile life characteristics in 145 women. Linear regression analyses showed a significant correlation between age at PD onset and age at menopause (P = 0.003), between age at PD onset and fertile life duration (P = 0.008), and a nonsignificant correlation between PD onset and cumulative duration of pregnancies (P = 0.23). These results support the possible role of estrogens in PD. © 2006 Movement Disorder Society
