Introduction: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative entity characterized by bradykinesia, tremor at rest and rigidity.
Objective: To determine the relationship between sex and motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical observational study was carried out on the relationship between sex and motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease at Lucía Íñiguez Landín Clinical Surgical Hospital in 2018. The universe consisted of 675 Parkinson's patients seen in consultation. The sample consisted of 110 patients
Results: The age group 60-69 years (34.55%) predominated. Non-motor symptoms predominated at the beginning of the disease in 68.18%. Tremor (80%) and rigidity (72.72%) predominated within the motor symptoms. The most prevalent symptom in males was tremor and rigidity in females. While as the non-motor symptoms, sleep disorders predominated in 92.72% and neuropsychiatric disorders in 86.36%.
Conclusions: In the present study, significant differences were found between men and women in the prevalence of some motor and non-motor symptoms
