AD, Alzheimer’s disease; COVID-19, Coronavirus Disease 2019; PD, Parkinson’s disease.
*Unconditional logistic regression model; significance at p < 0.05.
†Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, income, Charlson comorbidity index scores, hypertension and diabetes.
‡Model 2 was adjusted for model 1 plus Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
