The lower prevalence of Parkinson disease (PD) in females is not well understood but may be partially explained by sex differences in nigrostriatal circuitry and possible neuroprotective effects of estrogen. PD motor and nonmotor symptoms differ between sexes, and women experience disparities in care including undertreatment with DBS and less access to caregiving. Our knowledge about PD in gender diverse individuals is limited. Future studies should improve our understanding of the role of hormone replacement therapy in PD, address gender-based inequities in PD care and expand our understanding of PD in SGM and marginalized communities.
女性帕金森病(PD)的患病率较低,其原因尚不清楚,但可能部分与黑质纹状体回路中的性别差异以及雌激素的神经保护作用有关。PD 的运动和非运动症状在性别之间存在差异,女性在护理方面存在差异,包括 DBS 治疗不足和获得护理的机会较少。我们对跨性别个体中 PD 的了解有限。未来的研究应提高我们对激素替代疗法在 PD 中的作用的认识,解决 PD 护理中的性别不平等问题,并扩大我们对 SGM 和边缘化社区中 PD 的认识。
