Epidemiological studies of environmental risk factors in Parkinson's disease (PD) are dependent on recollection of past exposures based on patients' self-reports. There are limited studies that have assessed the quality of such data. We conducted a prospective study to determine the test-retest repeatability of environmental and lifestyle factors, and medical data in a PD cohort of Asian ethnicity. A total of 150 consecutive PD patients were initially screened, and 100 were recruited and completed an initial interview. Eighty-three patients completed the second interview more than 6 months later. Lifestyle habits (such as smoking and coffee consumption) showed excellent agreement (kappa > 0.90). For the amount and duration of coffee, tea, alcohol, and cigarette smoking exposure, the total agreement in the response for these factors in the repeat interview were noted in 71.4%, 73.3%, 100%, and 90%, respectively (ICC > 0.83). Medical conditions for which the patients were on treatment, such as diabetes, hypertension, and stroke, revealed very high repeatability (kappa = 0.81-0.90). Environmental exposures like well-water consumption and prior farm-dwelling produced a moderately good repeatability (kappa = 0.66-0.77). In conclusion, our study demonstrates that even over long interval period of more than half a year, self-report lifestyle exposure information, personal and environmental exposure data can be collected with moderate-to-high repeatability from PD patients.

:帕金森氏病(PD)中环境危险因素的流行病学研究取决于根据患者的自我报告来回顾过去的暴露情况。有限的研究评估了此类数据的质量。我们进行了一项前瞻性研究,以确定环境和生活方式因素的重测重复性,以及亚洲人PD队列中的医学数据。最初共筛选了150位连续的PD患者,并招募了100位患者并完成了初次访谈。六个多月后,八十三名患者完成了第二次访谈。生活方式习惯(例如吸烟和喝咖啡)表现出极好的一致性(kappa> 0.90)。对于咖啡,茶,酒和吸烟的暴露量和持续时间,在重复访谈中针对这些因素的回答中的总体同意率分别为71.4%,73.3%,100%和90%(ICC> 0.83)。患者接受治疗的医疗条件,例如糖尿病,高血压和中风,显示出很高的可重复性(kappa = 0.81-0.90)。像井水消耗和先前的农场住所这样的环境暴露产生了良好的可重复性(kappa = 0.66-0.77)。总之,我们的研究表明,即使在半年以上的较长时间间隔内,也可以从PD患者中以中等到高度的可重复性收集自我报告的生活方式暴露信息,个人和环境暴露数据。
