The aim of this research was to investigate the association between depression and Parkinson's disease (PD) as possible risk factors for dementia. Methods. From January 2001 to December 2008, Parkinson's disease patients with recent diagnoses and healthy controls were chosen from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Center database. This cohort was split into three groups: those without Parkinson's disease (PD), those who had PD, and those who also had depression. The hazard ratio (HR) for each group and the rate of dementia incidence were determined using Cox's regression analysis.
