Age and sex were included as cofactors for correlation analysis between cortical thickness signature scores (DLB-pattern, AD-pattern and mean cortical thickness) and clinical variables (SIT, MDS-UPDRS part I, II and III). Age, sex and education year were included as cofactors in the correlation analysis between cortical signature scores with cognitive profiles (Cognition* from MDS-UPDRS part I subscore and scores from neuropsychological tests)

The significant values (P < 0.05) are shown in bold
