Significant post hoc two-sample t-tests (p < 0.05, Bonferroni corrected): DRS-17: PDD vs. PDND; PDD vs. HC; BDI-21: PDD vs. PDND; PDD vs. HC. PDD, Parkinson’s disease with depression; PDND, PD patients without depression; HC, healthy control; HDRS-17,17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; BDI-21, 21-item Beck’s Depression Inventory; UPDRS-III, Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale-motor part III; H-Y, Hoehn and Yahr staging scale; MMSE, Mini-Mental State Examination; REL-GMV, relative gray matter volume; REL-WMV, relative white matter volume; FD, framewise displacement; NA, not applicable. For comparisons of demographics: ap value for the gender difference was obtained by chi-square test. bp values were obtained by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. cp values were obtained by two-sample t-test.
