Dysphagia Requiring Medical Attention in Parkinson's Disease: A Korean Population-Based Study.
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience both motor and non-motor symptoms, including dysphagia.

Association Between Commuting Time and Subjective Well-Being in Relation to Regional Differences in Korea.
Long commuting times have a negative impact on mental health. However, few studies have explored the relationship between commuting time and well-being based on urbanization by region. Our study examines this relationship as well as the effect of regional differences on Korean workers. ⋯ Long commuting time was negatively associated with well-being in Korean wage workers living in the cities. Policies for reducing commuting time should be discussed to address the mental health of workers, especially those living in metropolitan cities.
