Summary

The authors investigated the relationship between personality dimensions and 35% CO2, reactivity. Fifty-one patients with PD and 26 healthy controls were assessed by the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire and inhaled one-vital capacity of a gas mixture of 35% CO2, and 65%; 02. PD patients showed stronger reactivity to 35%. CO2, and higher scores on Harm Avoidance personality dimension. No significant relationship between reactivity to 35% CO2, and Harm Avoidance, Novelty Seeking and Reward Dependence personality dimensions were found in PD patients or controls. These results suggest that the reactivity to 35% CO2, might not be related to personality.
