Abbreviations: PD-MCI = mild cognitive impairment due to Parkinson's disease; AD-MCI = mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease; MMSE = Mini Mental State Exam; CDR = Clinical Dementia Rating

*

Adjusted for age at baseline (years), sex, and education (years)

An estimate >0 means that the PD-MCI participants performed better at baseline than the AD-MCI participants

For the Trail Making Tests A and B, a higher score means worse performance; therefore, the Trail Making z-scores have been inverted to be consistent with the other tests, in which a negative score means scoring worse than controls
