BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or liver fibrosis may share similar pathophysiological features with Parkinson's disease (PD), yet their correlation was unclear. This study aimed to explore their correlation between PD and liver fibrosis using the fibrosis-4 score (FIB-4) as a surrogate marker.
METHODS: We analyzed Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) data and enrolled PD patients with comprehensive baseline and 5-year follow-up time-point clinical data. Participants were categorized based on FIB-4 levels to assess the association between FIB-4 scores and various clinical scales, controlling for potential confounders. Differences in the progression of clinical scales over five years were compared using generalized linear mixed models (GLMM).
RESULTS: Baseline FIB-4 levels positively correlated to scores of baseline section III of the Unified-Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS III) (r = 0.145, p = 0.017), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (EPSS) (r = 0.140, P = 0.022), Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT)-delayed recall (r = 0.128, P = 0.036) and HVLT-retention (r = 0.128, p = 0.036). GLMM analysis revealed an independent correlation between FIB-4 subgroup*time and several clinical scales including the State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), Semantic Fluency Test (SF), HVLT-total recall, and HVLT-delayed recall, with the high FIB-4 subgroup exhibiting a greater decline in these scores compared to the low FIB-4 subgroup (all p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Elevated baseline FIB-4 correlated to more severe baseline daytime sleepiness, motor symptoms, and memory function in PD patients, along with a more rapid decline in cognitive functions such as executive function, information processing ability, and memory. Additionally, a high FIB-4 might confer a protective effect against anxiety.
