Abstract: Objective To explore the activities of daily living (ADL) and related factors of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods118 PD patients were assessed with the ADL scale, Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale-Ⅲ (UPDRS-Ⅲ), the Hamilton Rating Scalefor Anxiety (HAMA) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD). Results ADL score in all the patients was (40.75±14.63); ADLscore was higher in anxiety or depression group than in non-anxiety or non-depression group respectively (P<0.05). Scores of UPDRS-Ⅲcorrelated with the ADL (r=0.506, P=0.000). Conclusion ADL decreases in PD patients, especially those with anxiety and depression. Themotor disorder of PD patients correlated with ADL.
