Assess severity according to VHI scale: mild 40%, average 54%, severe 6%. There was a moderate correlation between VHI score and the duration of disease (r=0,328), mobility UPDRS III (r=0.576), quality of life PDQ39 (r=0.493) and the higher the VHI score in the late stage. Conclusions: Voice disorder is a common condition occurring in parkinson disease, causing difficulties in social communication, this area needs more attention to improve the patient's quality of life.
