Survey of people with Parkinson’s Disease

Over the past 2 years I have been collecting data from people with Parkinson’s disease who use PD forums and so far I have nearly 200 sets of answers. The purpose is to determine patterns of employment, coffee drink and smoking habits which appear to be related to the incidence of PD. If you have never completed this survey and are happy to participate, please answer the following questions:

Year of PD diagnosis.
Your age at diagnosis.
Your principal job / occupation.
Coffee drinking habits No / yes, how much and how often.
Smoking No / yes, how much and how often.
Main leisure activities.

The easiest way to participate is via our forum (if you are not already a member it is quick and easy to register) at www.parkinsonsforum.org and go to the “Surveys” Category and post under the “Who are we” Topic. If you would prefer not to join the forum but are still happy to participate then please email your answers to admin@parkinsonsforumuk.org

No names or email addresses will be disclosed or retained.

Some interesting trends are emerging from the replies so far. The survey results will be published on our forum and here at WobbyWilliams.

Thank you your help will be much appreciated.
