Multiple Gender Dimensions 61 3 Conclusion This study offers a first detailed description of the impact of different gender dimensions on the QoL of people with PD. Our findings showed that specific gender dimensions can impact health-related quality of life differently among people with PD. Insights from this study help to improve gender-sensitive investigations by highlighting the need for more rigorous analysis regarding the impact of various gender dimensions on the quality of life and experience of care of people with PD. Particularly, more in-depth explorations into the significance of gender roles and relations on health behaviour can support clinicians in their considerations for more targeted gender-sensitive psychosocial interventions, which can contribute to important improvements in quality of life. Overall, the precise investigation of the impact of gender dimensions on PD holds much promise for targeted psychosocial interventions and should be further explored.
