Strong evidence shows that symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) restrict both their independence and social participation, leading to a low Quality of Life (QoL). Conversely, a reduced QoL has a negative impact on symptoms. The aim is to evaluate the correlation between QoL and severity of PD by assessing the presence of an optimal cut-off point on the Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39) as related to the Hoehn &Yahr (H&Y) scale in a cohort of Italian adults with PD.

Abstract
Strong evidence shows that symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) restrict both their independence and social participation, leading to a low Quality of Life (QoL). Conversely, a reduced QoL has a negative impact on symptoms. The aim is to evaluate the correlation between QoL and severity of PD by assessing the presence of an optimal cut-off point on the Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39) as related to the Hoehn &Yahr (H&Y) scale in a cohort of Italian adults with PD.File in questo prodotto:
