ObjectiveCauses of Parkinson disease are largely unknown, but recent evidence suggests associations with physical activity and anthropometric measures.MethodsWe prospectively analyzed a cohort of 41,638 Swedish men and women by detailed assessment of lifestyle factors at baseline in 1997. Complete follow-up until 2010 was achieved through linkage to population-based registers. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsWe identified 286 incident cases of Parkinson disease during follow-up. Multivariable adjusted hazard ratios were 1.06 (95% CI 0.76-1.47) for sitting time ≥6 vs 2. Results did not differ by sex.ConclusionsNo association between prolonged sitting time per day or obesity and risk of Parkinson disease was found.
