Participants in ActiveAgeing and their experimental features.
I. Clinical dimension: Considering the participants with PD as the experimental group, and the participants in Helgetun as the control group, we explore the impact of a neurological condition (i.e., PD) on the ageing process. II. Environmental dimension: Considering the residents of Helgetun as the experimental group, and the people on the waiting list as the control group, we explore the impact of living in an innovative living environment like Helgetun on the ageing process. III. Caregiving dimension: Considering the participants with PD as the experimental group, and their informal caregivers as the control group, we explore the impact of a neurological condition (i.e., PD) on the ageing process in dyads of participants. IV. Psychological dimension: Considering the caregivers of people with PD as the experimental group, and the people on the waiting list for Helgetun as the control group, we explore the psychological impact of having caregiving duties on the ageing process.
