1

NSAID, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug; PD, Parkinson disease.

2

Adjusted for age, BMI, physical activity, caffeine, alcohol, total carotenoid intake, total energy intake, overall dietary patterns, postmenopausal status, and current postmenopausal hormone use (premenopausal/postmenopausal without hormone use/postmenopausal with hormone use, women only).

3

Environmental tobacco smoke exposure status was collected in 1982 for women and 2004 for men.

4

Family history of PD (father, mother, and siblings) was collected in 2008.

5

Other NSAID use (e.g., ibuprofen) was collected in 1990 for women and 1986 for men.

6

Fixed-effects model was used, P-heterogeneity = 0.98.
