Onset and mortality of Parkinson's disease in relation to type II diabetes.
Journal of Neurology 2022 November 28
OBJECTIVES: There is growing evidence that Parkinson's disease and diabetes are partially related diseases; however, the association between the two, and the impact of specific treatments, are still unclear. We evaluated the effect of T2D and antidiabetic treatment on age at PD onset and on all-cause mortality.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The standardized rate of T2D was calculated for PD patients using the direct method and compared with subjects with essential tremor (ET) and the general Italian population. Age at onset and survival were also compared between patients without T2D (PD-noT2D), patients who developed T2D before PD onset (PD-preT2D) and patients who developed T2D after PD onset (PD-postT2D).
RESULTS: We designed a retrospective and prospective study. The T2D standardized ratio of PD (N = 8380) and ET (N = 1032) patients was 3.8% and 6.1%, respectively, while in the Italian general population, the overall prevalence was 5.3%. In PD-preT2D patients, on antidiabetic treatment, the onset of PD was associated with a + 6.2 year delay (p < 0.001) while no difference was observed in PD-postT2D. Occurrence of T2D before PD onset negatively affected prognosis (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.64 [95% CI 1.33-2.02]; p < 0.001), while no effect on survival was found in PD-postT2D subjects (hazard ratio = 0.86, [95% CI 0.53-1.39]; p = 0.54).
CONCLUSIONS: T2D, treated with any antidiabetic therapy before PD, is associated with a delay in its onset. Duration of diabetes increases mortality in PD-preT2D, but not in PD-postT2D. These findings prompt further studies on antidiabetic drugs as a potential disease-modifying therapy for PD.
