Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, but also by remarkable executive changes. In the present study, we sought to investigate executive functions in healthy controls and parkinsonian patients with varying degrees of impairment. We evaluated 30 healthy controls and 40 PD patients using the instruments Hoehn and Yahr, UPDRS, WAIS-III, MMSE, MoCA, Stroop and BADS. PD patients showed significant impairment in executive functions when compared to people of the control group. There was a percentage of 72.5% of patients with executive dysfunction (ED), distributed in all stages of PD, and women, individuals with less education and those with advanced age showed more severe disorders than other patients. Therefore, the number of patients with executive changes was significant, not being those related to the worsening of the disease. However, some variables of the sample proved protective for worsening dysfunction.Downloads
