Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This project proposes to evaluate the prevalence of PD and other parkinsonian syndromes in four regions of Brazil. Additionally, the incidence of PD and conversion of premotor symptoms into parkinsonian syndromes will be investigated in a 5-year cohort in a population-based sample in the southern region country. The investigators will also perform an exploratory analysis to assess the effect of environmental and lifestyle risk factors on PD.
Primary Purpose:
To determine the prevalence of Parkinson's disease and other Parkinson's syndromes in population-based samples of people aged 60 and over in the cities of Veranópolis (RS), Belém (PA), Jacobina (BA), and the administrative region of Candangolândia (DF).
Secondary Objective:
For all four regions studied:
To determine the overall prevalence and age- and sex-adjusted prevalence of Parkinson's disease; To determine the prevalence of other forms of parkinsonism (atypical, drug and vascular parkinsonism); To determine the prevalence of pre-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), constipation, hyposmia, subtle voice changes, depression in a sample of elderly individuals) To assess the association between Parkinson's disease and exposure to environmental factors: caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, pesticides, herbicides and other environmental toxicants; To evaluate the association between Parkinson's disease and biochemical and molecular biomarkers in peripheral fluids. The biological markers will be uric acid, iron, ferritin, transferrin and heavy metals;
Data Analysis Methodology:
The investigators will follow the STROBE statement for cross-sectional studies for data analysis and reporting of results for the study of prevalence and risk factors (Vandenbroucke et al. 2014). Data collection will be recorded in spreadsheets and digitally captured by REDCap tools (Harris et al. 2009) hosted at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. For PD and other parkinsonian disorders, the aim will be to estimate: 1) crude prevalence, 2) age-specific prevalence, 3) gender-specific prevalence, and 4) age-adjusted prevalence rate.
