In this model, the motor score of UPDRS (part III) in the on state was set as the dependent variable, with age, gender, disease duration and plasma level of α-synuclein set as independent variables. r: correlation coefficient based on the model of multiple linear regression; t: t value for the coefficient of each parameter in the model; p: for r or t; R2-adjusted=0.1998, p=0.01 for the model. *: statistically significant, p<0.05; **: p<0.01.
