Rural Australians with Parkinson's Disease

The Rural and Remote Health Journal recently published an article "Rural living and health-related quality of life in Australians with Parkinson's disease."  Although growing evidence suggests that Parksinson's Disease may be more prevalent in rural communities, there is little information about the life quality of these individuals. This study examines whether health-related quality of life (HRQOL) ratings vary in relation to rural and metropolitan life settings.
