Data are presented by groups as mean (SD). Volumetric variables are presented in ratios estimated by ((volume/eTIV) × 100). Two-way analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) with age as covariable, followed by Bonferroni post hoc tests, were used for all variables

CTh cortical thickness; F female; GM gray matter; HC healthy controls; M male; PD-non pRBD PD without probable RBD; PD-pRBD PD with probable RBD

*Differences between PD-non pRBD males and PD-pRBD males (P < 0.05)
