Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the association between gout and Parkinson's disease in older people in Taiwan. Utilizing the Taiwan National Health Insurance database, this case–control study included 3854 patients aged 65 years or older with newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease as the case group [mean age 75.0 years and standard deviation (SD) 5.0 years], and 15,416 patients without Parkinson's disease as the control group (mean age 74.0 years and SD 5.3 years). Multivariable logistic regression analysis detected no association between gout and Parkinson's disease in both sex [odds ratio (OR) = 0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.86–1.12, in men and OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.88–1.21, in women, respectively]. We conclude that no association can be detected between gout and Parkinson's disease in older people in Taiwan.
