Air Pollution Linked to Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this case-control study, exposures to ambient particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 μm or nitrogen dioxide were each associated with increased risks of dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease–related dementia, with a greater magnitude of association for risk of dementia with Lewy bodies. These findings warrant concern about the impact of air pollution on brain health.
