Is exposure to metal associated with the risk of Parkinson's disease? AmJEpi UniUtrecht parkisnons parkinsonsdisease PD research metalexposure metal news
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Apr 7 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent American Journal of Epidemiology study reviewed the literature on metal exposure and Parkinson's disease risk. The goal was also to examine the quality of the overall studies and the exposure assessment methods used.
This leads to dopamine deficiency and motor defects. Globally, PD is showing faster growth than any other neurological disorder, and the rise in the aging population cannot fully explain it. Further, 69 studies used biomonitoring and self-reported exposure after disease diagnosis for exposure assessment approaches.
The risk of PD was higher after exposure to airborne mercury, and the mortality was also higher among individuals drinking water with high selenium concentrations. This heterogeneity could have stemmed from different metal detection methods in biomonitoring studies or other factors like age and gender.
