Table 4.

In the PD group, association between (a) presence of MCI at baseline and (i) VRS score (ii) WMH (root transformed) in the PD group and (results are from multivariable logistic regression models that include age at baseline, sex, education, and disease duration as covariates) (b) individual cognitive test scores and (i) VRS score (ii) WMH (root transformed) (results are from multivariable linear regression models that include age at baseline, sex, education, and disease duration as covariates). 95%CI=95% Confidence Interval. HVLT=Hopkins Verbal Learning Task. JOLO=Judgement of Line Orientation. LNS=Letter number sequencing. MCI=mild cognitive impairment. MoCA=Montreal Cognitive Assessment. SDMT=Symbol Digit Modality. VRS=Vascular Risk Score. WM=white matter. WMH=White Matter Hyperintensity.
