Hypothetical intervention 1 included a complete removal of COVID-19 stressors in all individuals (N = 844), hypothetical intervention 2 a 50% reduction of COVID-19 stressors (N = idem) and hypothetical intervention 3 a 25% reduction (N = idem). Hypothetical intervention 4 reduced COVID-19 stressors with 50% in individuals scoring above the population median (N = 412 for intervention on stressors sum score, N = 374 for intervention on social stressors, N = 381 for intervention on care stressors), hypothetical intervention 5 with 25% (N = idem). Hypothetical intervention 6 included a 50% reduction of COVID-19 stressors in people with an above median MDS-UPDRS-II (N = 366) and hypothetical intervention 7 a 25% reduction (N = idem). Models were adjusted for sex, age, disease duration, presence of comorbidities, education, living situation, region, and date. Models for intervention 6 and 7 were not adjusted for disease duration.
