  • Values are mean (SD), except median (range) for GDS, Global Deterioration Scale, Hoehn and Yahr stage and NPI.

  • Global Deterioration Scale and NPI scores were available for a subset of PD patients (PD-N, n=24; PD-MCI, n=17; PD-D, n=16).

  • Significant ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis across groups, *p<0.002.

  • GDS, Geriatric Depression Scale-short form; GM, grey matter, ICV, intracranial volume; LED, levodopa equivalent dose; MMSE, Mini-Mental State Examination; MoCA, Montreal cognitive assessment; NPI, Neuropsychiatric Inventory; PD-D, Parkinson's disease with dementia; PD-MCI, Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment; PD-N, Parkinson's disease with normal cognition; UPDRS-III, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III.
