Relationship between Parkinson’s disease and risk factors of cerebrovascular disease
Objective:To investigate the relationship between some common risk factors of the cerebralvascular diseases and PD.Methods:Case-control study was carried out.Blood glucose
low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and homocysteic acid(Hcy) levels were detected by routine methods.The intima-media thickness(IMT)of carotid artery was measured by color Doppler ultrasound.The PD patients were graded by Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS).Results:The blood glucose and Hcy in PD patients were higher than that in control group
and the LDL-C
IMT of carotid artery in PD were lower than that in control group.The Hcy was positively related to risk of PD
while IMT of carotid artery and LDL-C were negatively related to risk of PD by Spearman analysis.Conclusion:The Hcy level is a risk factor of PD.The LDL-C and IMT of carotid artery in PD patients were lower than that in control group
which suggests that the probability of PD patients who suffer from atherosclerosis is small.
