Traumatic brain injury in later life increases risk for Parkinson disease
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is thought to be a risk factor for Parkinson disease (PD), but results are conflicting. Many studies do not account for confounding or reverse causation. We sought to address these concerns by quantifying risk of PD after TBI compared to non‐TBI trauma (NTT; defined as fractures).
