Association between Parkinson's disease and cardiovascular disease mortality: a prospective population-based study from NHANES.

Background And Aim: Conflicting results have been reported on the association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in different populations. Therefore, studying the relationship between PD and CVD mortality is crucial to reduce mortality caused by the former.

Methods: In this cohort investigation, we enrolled 28,242 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning from 2003 to 2018.
