Abstract: A Doença de Parkinson é uma doença neurodegenerativa muito comum, caracterizada por tremor em repouso, bradicinesia e rigidez muscular. O objectivo deste estudo é relacionar de que forma os défices cognitivos influenciam a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos portadores de Doença de Parkinson Idiopática. Neste estudo participaram 20 indivíduos portadores de Doença de Parkinson Idiopática, tendo-lhes sido aplicado três escalas: o Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), o Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) e a Modified Hoehn and Yahr Staging Scale. Os indivíduos com défices cognitivos apresentaram scores mais elevados no PDQ-39 do que os indivíduos sem comprometimento cognitivo. As dimensões mais associadas ao comprometimento cognitivo foram a mobilidade, as actividades de vida diária, as emoções, o estigma, a comunicação e o score final do PDQ-39. Por fim, concluiu-se que o impacto da Doença de Parkinson na qualidade de vida é superior nos indivíduos com défices cognitivos, comparativamente aos indivíduos sem comprometimento cognitivo. Parkinson's Disease is a very common neurodegenerative disease characterized by resting tremor, bradykinesia and muscle rigidity. The aim of this study is to relate how the cognitive impairments influence the quality of life of individuals with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. This study has involved 20 individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's disease, having been applied to them three scales: the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) and Modified Hoehn and Yahr Staging Scale. Individuals with cognitive impairments showed higher scores on the PDQ-39 than individuals without cognitive impairment. The dimensions most associated with cognitive impairment were mobility, activities of daily living, emotions, stigma, communication and final score of the PDQ-39. Finally, it was found that the impact of Parkinson's Disease in life quality is higher in subjects with cognitive impairments compared to individuals without cognitive impairment.
