About the study In the present retrospective cohort study, researchers evaluated Parkinson's disease incidence among individuals aged 50 years and above presenting with and without anxiety.

They estimated the hazard ratios , adjusting for sociodemographic variables and lifestyle behaviors , and significant mental and physical health issues.

Women and individuals from the most impoverished socioeconomic backgrounds had a lower PD risk.
