Table 1.
Demographic information (standard deviations in parentheses) across the non-impulsive PD group and impulsive PD group. UPDRS (n=142), MMSE (n=141), and medication class (n=142) information was available for most patients. P values refers to the independent samples t test between the non-impulsive and impulsive PD groups.
