    Obesity is linked to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, particularly in metabolically unhealthy individuals.

  • 2

    Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) can lead to significant weight loss and reduce obesity-related health issues.

  • 3

    MBS may provide neuroprotective effects for patients with obesity and Parkinson's disease through various mechanisms.

  • 4

    The study utilized the National Inpatient Sample database to analyze Parkinson's disease prevalence among obese patients with and without MBS.

  • 5

    After propensity score matching, no significant differences in Parkinson's disease prevalence were found between MBS and non-MBS groups.
