Background: Sleep disorders are common in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the longitudinal relationship between sleep quality and the other non-motor symptoms of PD has not been well characterized, especially in early PD.
Objective: To explore the value of baseline sleep quality in predicting the progression of other non-motor symptoms in early PD.
Article Synopsis
- Subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) and affective symptoms are common in early Parkinson's Disease (PD), with a prevalence of 38.8% found in a study of 121 participants.
- The study used well-defined criteria to assess cognitive impairment and various scales to measure anxiety, depression, and apathy, revealing significant associations primarily in cognitively normal participants.
- The findings suggest that SCC can indicate affective disorders in those without cognitive impairment, while in cognitively impaired individuals, it may underestimate the prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI).
