This is a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling individuals ≥ 40 years in Germany. Perceived prospects for the future in different life domains (ie, living standard, health and general optimism) were used as outcomes. Physician-diagnosed Parkinson’s disease served as key independent variable . It was adjusted for several covariates.Results: Individuals with Parkinson’s disease had a markedly worse (Cohen’s d=0.65) general optimism compared to individuals without Parkinson’s disease. After adjusting for various factors, these differences disappeared in multiple linear regressions (β=− 0.04, p=0.72). Moreover, multiple ordered logistic regressions showed that individuals with Parkinson’s disease had a worse future self-rated health (OR: 4.10, 95% CI: 1.99– 8.47, p< 0.001) compared to individuals without Parkinson’s disease.Conclusion: Our study first showed that general optimism may be lower among individuals with Parkinson’s disease (bivariate analysis). However, this association disappeared when it was adjusted for health-related factors in regression analysis. In sum, our findings indicate that more general future-related factors did not significantly differ between individuals with and without Parkinson’s disease. However, there were significant differences in future self-rated health.Keywords: perceived longevity, outlook, optimism, health, living standard, Parkinson, Parkinson’s disease |
