“Main term” is the average difference between the women and the men (reference: males). “Interaction term” is the interaction between disease duration and sex. The adjusted covariates were linear and square age for non-PD participants. For PD participants, linear and square disease duration, and indicators of levodopa and dopamine agonist usage were further adjusted.

SE, standard error; PDAQ-15, the Penn Parkinson’s Daily Activities Questionnaire-15 (15-item measure of cognitive instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) for Parkinson’s disease patients derived from the original 50-item PDAQ), ranging 0–60 (the lower the worse); Depression, Geriatric Depression Scale score more than 5. Consistency with longitudinal dataset analyses was evaluated for outcomes (Consistency with LT analysis).

Abbreviations: NMSQ, Non Motor Symptom Questionnaire; NMSQ_awake: difficult to stay awake; NMSQ_Sleep, difficulty getting sleep at night; NMSQ_Feel, feeling sad, “low” or “blue”; NMSQ_Smell, loss or change in your ability to taste or smell.
