Tobacco smoking is consistently associated with a reduced likelihood of Parkinson's Disease
in men and women. So passive smokers were assessed to see whether they were affected in
the same way.
Exposure to passive smoke in social settings was positively associated with Parkinson’s
Disease, increasing the likelihood of developing Parkinson’s Disease by 62%. Neither the
increasing years of passive smoke exposure, nor the smokiness of the setting affected the
likelihood of developing Parkinson’s Disease.
Household exposure during adulthood was associated with a
reduced risk of Parkinson’s Disease down to 59% of what
would be expected. However, household exposure during
childhood was not associated with any alteration in the risk of
Parkinson’s Disease. Workplace exposure was also not
associated with the risk of Parkinson’s Disease.
Among lifelong
non-smokers, passive smoke exposure combined across all
settings and accumulated over a lifetime was only marginally
associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s Disease.
