Abstract

Background and purpose

Repetitive head trauma from boxing has been associated with the development of parkinsonism. This study aimed to determine the frequency of and the risk factors for parkinsonism among retired Filipino boxers.

Methods

A total of 21 retired Filipino professional boxers were screened for parkinsonism using the motor part of the Movement Disorder Society − Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS − UPDRS).

Results

Seventeen retired boxers were found to have parkinsonism (80.95%). The factors that significantly increased the risk for parkinsonism among retired Filipino boxers were the number of fights lost (16.47 vs. 7.25, p = 0.0393) and the number of knockouts endured (2.17 vs 1.00, p = 0.0480). Boxers in heavier weight divisions had higher odds of parkinsonism compared to those in lighter weight divisions. However, this was not significant.

Conclusion

The frequency of parkinsonism among retired Filipino boxers was 80.95%. The factors that significantly increased the risk for the development of parkinsonism were higher number of fights lost and number of knockouts endured.

菲律宾退役拳击手帕金森病

背景和目的拳击造成的重复性头部创伤与帕金森病的发展有关。本研究旨在探讨菲律宾退役拳击手帕金森病的发病频率及危险因素。方法采用运动障碍学会统一帕金森病评定量表(MDS - UPDRS)的运动部分对21名退役菲律宾职业拳击手进行帕金森病筛查。结果退役拳击手帕金森病患者17例(80.95%)。在退役的菲律宾拳击手中，显著增加帕金森病风险的因素是输掉的比赛次数(16.47比7.25,p = 0.0393)和被击倒的次数(2.17比1.00,p = 0.0480)。重量级拳击手比轻量级拳击手患帕金森病的几率更高。然而，这并不显著。结论退役拳击运动员帕金森病患病率为80.95%。显著增加患帕金森病风险的因素是输掉比赛的次数和被击倒的次数。
