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.
