UPDRS, United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

aConsidering all variables that were significant in the univariate analysis (see Table 2), the multivariate logistic regression analysis first forced age, gender, and years of education into the model and then used a forward stepwise method to identify other significant variables. The Nagalkerke R-squared for the final model was 0.406.
