ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of weight loss (WL) in PD patients, its relationship to the severity of motor manifestations and appetite changes.Methods144 PD patients and 120 controls were evaluated in a single session. All subjects were asked about changes in body weight and appetite. PD patients were examined with the UPDRS-III and the Hoehn and Yahr (HY) scales. Subscores of tremor, bradykinesia /rigidity, and non-dopaminergic symptoms (NDS) were analyzed individually. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine an association between WL and PD motor manifestations.Results48.6 % of PD patients presented WL compared to 20.8 % of controls (p ConclusionsOur results showed that WL occurs in almost half of PD patients and it is largely the consequence of disease progression rather than involuntary movements or a decrease in food intake.
