Abstract
BackgroundThe current understandings of the relationship between air pollution (AP), greenspace exposure and Parkinson's Disease (PD) remain inconclusive.MethodsWe engaged 441,462 participants from the UK Biobank who were not diagnosed with PD. Utilizing Cox proportional hazard regression model, relationships between AP [nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOX), particulate matter < 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter(PM2.5), coarse particulate matter between 2.5 μm and 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter(PM2.5-10), particulate matter < 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter(PM10)], greenspace exposure, and PD risk were determined independently. Our analyses comprised three models, adjusted for covariates, and affirmed through six sensitivity analyses to bolster the robustness of our findings. Moreover, mediation analysis was deployed to discern the mediating effect of AP between greenspaces and PD.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 12.23 years (5,574,293 person-years), there were 3,293 PD events. Each interquartile (IQR) increment in NO2 and PM10 concentrations were associated with 10% and 8% increase in PD onset risk, while the increases in NOX, PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 were not associated with PD risk. Additionally, greenspace may safeguard by reducing NO2 and PM10 levels, with the effect mediated by NO2 and PM10 in greenspace - PD relationship.ConclusionOur findings indicate that an IQR increase in ambient NO2 and PM10 concentrations was associated with risk of PD development, while other pollutants (NOX, PM2.5 and PM2.5-10) were not associated with PD risk. Firstly, we find that augmented exposure to greenspace was associated with the lower PD risk by reducing NO2 and PM10 levels.</p>
