BACKGROUND: Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that affects more than 10 million people worldwide, impacting both quality of life and marital relationships. Divorce rates are higher in Western compared to Eastern countries. However, it is unclear if there are differences in marital status after PD onset between the two regions.
METHODS: We searched MEDLINE and Embase from inception to March 31, 2024. Original studies discussing marital status in participants with PD were included. An unmarried status includes single, widowed, divorced or separated. Outcomes included the prevalence of being unmarried, measured as proportions, and the risk ratio (RR) of being unmarried in participants with PD relative to controls.
RESULTS: Out of 567 studies screened initially, 55 studies involving 3,723,966 participants were included. The prevalence of being unmarried was evaluated in 55 studies (25.16%; 95% CI: 21.52-29.18). The prevalence of being unmarried was significantly higher in countries in the West compared to the East (28.83%; 95% CI: 25.09-32.89 vs 17.47%; 95% CI: 12.10-24.57, p < 0.01). Compared to controls, the risk of being unmarried in PD participants after the onset of PD was significantly higher in the East (RR: 1.21, 95% CI: 0.91-1.60) compared to the West (RR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.65-1.15).
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis showed significantly higher rates of being unmarried in Western compared to Eastern countries. After PD onset, participants in the East were at significantly higher risk of being unmarried compared to participants in the West, suggesting that differences in cultural practices, societal norms and healthcare systems may affect marital status outcomes in PD participants.
