To investigate associations between statin (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitor) use and Parkinson disease (PD).
We used a population-based design to recruit 312 incident idiopathic PD cases and 342 controls from three rural California counties.
We observed a higher frequency of statin use among controls vs cases (OR 0.45; 95% CI 0.29 to 0.71) and a strong dose-response relation. The strongest protective association between statin use and PD was observed in long-term (>or=5 years) users (OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.18 to 0.78). There was no difference by gender or age. We noted 60 to 70% risk reductions for each individual statin except pravastatin.
Ascribing causality to these associations is premature and further studies are needed to confirm a potential neuroprotective role for statins in PD.
研究他汀类药物(3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶抑制剂)的使用与帕金森病(PD)之间的关联。
我们采用基于人群的设计,从加利福尼亚州的三个乡村县招募了312例新发特发性PD病例和342例对照。
我们观察到对照组中他汀类药物的使用频率高于病例组(比值比[OR]为0.45;95%置信区间[CI]为0.29至0.71),且存在强烈的剂量反应关系。在长期(≥5年)使用者中观察到他汀类药物使用与PD之间最强的保护关联(OR为0.37;95%CI为0.18至0.78)。在性别或年龄方面没有差异。除普伐他汀外,我们注意到每种他汀类药物的风险降低了60%至70%。
将这些关联归因于因果关系还为时过早,需要进一步研究来证实他汀类药物在PD中潜在的神经保护作用。
