To evaluate the impact of an early intervention program on exercise behavior and mood in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) 1 year following participation. Education and exercise program participants (n = 152) were followed up for 1 year. Changes in exercise behavior and mood and factors associated with these changes were examined. At follow-up, 28% more participants exercised (p < 0.001). Changes in the proportion reporting depression (12% reduction; p = 0.10) or anxiety (4% increase, p = 0.09) were not statistically significant. An education and exercise program promoted positive exercise behavior change sustained for a year, supporting the importance of early intervention for people with PD. Future research should explore sustainable ways to encourage prolonged behavior change, including regular follow-up.
评估早期干预计划对帕金森病（PD）患者参与后 1 年运动行为和情绪的影响。对参加教育和运动计划的患者（n=152）进行了 1 年的随访。检查了运动行为和情绪的变化以及与这些变化相关的因素。随访时，更多的参与者进行了运动（p<0.001）。报告抑郁（减少 12%；p=0.10）或焦虑（增加 4%，p=0.09）的患者比例变化无统计学意义。教育和运动计划促进了积极的运动行为改变，持续了 1 年，这支持了对 PD 患者进行早期干预的重要性。未来的研究应探索可持续的方法来鼓励长期的行为改变，包括定期随访。
