Longitudinal study is first to explore HDL variability and PD
Lower high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and greater HDL variability were associated with higher incidence of Parkinson’s disease (PD), a large, nationwide, population-based, longitudinal study in Korea found.
In this study, “baseline HDL-C level, mean HDL-C level, and HDL-C variability was associated with the risk of PD incidence, regardless of potential confounding factors,” wrote Do-Hoon Kim, MD, of Korea University College of Medicine, Ansan, and co-authors in
“HDL has reverse cholesterol transport and a wide range of other functions, including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, pro-endothelial function, anti-thrombosis, and modulation of immune function,” they noted. “Because oxidative stress and chronic inflammation may be associated with PD, HDL reduction can affect the development of PD.”
