“…: SCID-CV) were not applied for the diagnosis of depression. This is also a limitation of the study by Margis et al 2 The total score in the PDQ-39 and its subscales/dimensions strongly correlated with the total score in the GDS-15. The group of patients with current depression (GDS-15 ≥ 8) had higher scores (p < 0.0001) in the PDQ-39 and its dimensions (Table 1).…”

“…Thus, we have read with great interest the article by Margis et al in which the authors assessed the influence of depressive symptoms on the quality of life of PD patients. 2 The authors observed that the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score was positively associated with the total score in the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment for older adults and five of its six domains.…”

“…To the same end as Margis et al, 2 we have recently used the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and its eight dimensions and the 15-item GDS (GDS-15) to assess quality of life and depressive symptoms in PD patients, respectively. We divided the patients into two groups (PD without depression and PD with depression) according to the GDS-15 cutoff score of eight proposed for the screening of depression in PD.…”

Quality of life encompasses physical, psychological and social aspects of health. Apart from motor symptoms (physical aspects), Parkinson's disease (PD) is also closely related with various non-motor symptoms (psychological and social aspects) that can undermine quality of life greatly, even in early stages of the disease. Most research studies in this field focus on analysis of motor symptoms in PD sufferers. Although benefits of physical activity for the psychosocial quality of life are well-known, they have been mostly neglected in case of the people suffering from PD. Numerous studies clearly show that training programs can ameliorate the quality of life as far as non-motor functions in PD sufferers are concerned. The only psychological aspects of the disease related to the effects of exercise that have been researched so far are depression and cognitive functions. Depression is the most common denominator of poor quality of life, while dementia often accompanies the Parkinson's disease. Studies have shown positive effects of exercise on the social life of those suffering from the disease, especially in case of group exercise. Studying psychological and social aspects of such chronic conditions as PD is of utmost importance for monitoring the patient's adjustment to the disease, functioning with it, as well as the overall well-being and satisfaction with life. Thus far, the results have been pointing towards improvement of the quality of life. Exercise is a readily available method of treatment in case of PD, especially if applied in the early stages of the disease. In addition to reviewing the existing studies on the relation between exercise and quality of life of the patients, this paper will also focus on the way the psychological and social aspects of PD are influenced by exercise.

“…3,4 Os sintomas se intensificam conforme a doença progride, resultando em uma carga emocional associada à DP. 5 Margis e col. 6 relataram em seus estudos que a diminuição da qualidade de vida (QV) em indivíduos com DP está relacionada com o comprometimento da doença, ou seja, os estágios mais comprometedores remetem à pior QV nesses indivíduos. Embora vários fatores possam estar envolvidos, deve-se ter em mente que os pacientes com DP avançada apresentam uma série de limitações motoras que atingem sua qualidade de vida.…”
