Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the association of plasma neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels with depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease (PD). This prospective study enrolled 116 patients with PD and 38 healthy controls, and found plasma NfL levels were higher in patients with depression or anxiety than in those without these symptoms. Binary logistic regression identified NfL concentration as an independent predictor of depression and anxiety in PD. In conclusion, elevated plasma NfL may be associated with severity of depression and anxiety in PD patients and may serve as a diagnostic biomarker of PD with moderate to severe depression or anxiety.
