UPDRS-III - 18.2(9.1) 21.8(8.9) - - 0.161
HY stage - 1.7(0.5) 1.8(0.4) - - 0.297
MoCA 27.9(1.6) 27.6(1.9) 24.0(3.7) 0.615 0.001 <0.001
Disease duration (y) - 1.2(0.9) 2.4(1.5) - - <0.001

Means are followed by standard deviations. Differences in age, years of education, and MoCA scores were assessed using Student’s T test. Differences in gender were assessed using a χ2 test. CTR, controls; PD-CN, Parkinson’s disease cognitively normal; PD-MCI, Parkinson’s disease with mild cognitive impairment; UPDRS-III, Unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale–Part III; HY stage, Hoehn and Yahr stage; MoCA, Montreal cognitive assessment scale.
