Abstract

Purpose

Older adults with Alzheimer’s disease are less likely to be offered cataract surgery than the general population, but these disparities have not been examined in the context of other neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Methods

Using data from the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing (ELSA), an ongoing, longitudinal population-based survey of older adults in England, we examined the relationship between PD and cataract surgery among adults 50 and older. We used logistic regression to measure the association between PD and history of cataract surgery at baseline. In longitudinal analyses of subjects with no history of cataract surgery at time of enrollment, we used semiparametric, discrete-time proportional hazards models to model the incidence of cataract surgery as a function of PD and other time-dependent covariates. Models were adjusted for demographic variables, self-reported comorbidities, and measures of daily activity limitation.

Results

We included data from 19,241 eligible ELSA respondents, of whom 231 (1.2%) reported a diagnosis of PD. PD was positively associated with a history of self-reported cataract surgery at baseline (OR 3.66, 95% CI: 2.55–5.26), but this did not remain significant after adjusting for confounders (OR 1.22, 95% CI: 0.75–1.98). Among subjects with no history of cataract surgery at baseline, PD was also not associated with incident cataract surgery (adjusted HR 1.32, 95% CI: 0.86–2.02).

Conclusion

Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, people with PD were no less likely to receive cataract surgery compared to those without PD.
