Parkinsonism Incidence in North-East Scotland (PINE)
The PINE Study follows a large population-based cohort of individuals with and without Parkinson's disease and other forms of Parkinsonism in Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom (UK). Between 2002 and 2006, the study recruited adults with suspected new-onset Parkinsonism from Aberdeen. At baseline, over 360 individuals with suspected Parkinsonism were included in the cohort. The study also recruited age- and sex-matched control participants. Data is collected on participants annually, and mortality is followed using the UK Central Death Register.
