We screened health checkup examinees to identify potential participants using the following questionnaires: SCOPA-AUT the Japanese version of the Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson’s disease for Autonomic Symptoms, SAOQ Self-administered Odor Question, RBDSQ REM behavior disorder screening scale, BDI-II Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition, ESS Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and PASE Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly. We classified subjects who were ≥50 years old and had ≥2 abnormal scores in the SCOPA-AUT, SAOQ, and RBDSQ into the high-risk group. The cut-off value for identifying the high-risk group was 10 for SCOPA-AUT, 90.0% for SAOQ, and 5 for RBDSQ. Subjects who were ≥50 years old and had no abnormalities in all the questionnaires were classified into the low-risk group.
