Summary statistics of age and risk markers of PD-free individuals and incident PD cases at different visits, absolute and relative (%) frequencies of marker presence or median (inter-quartile range in brackets) are given unless specified otherwise. Sample sizes per visit are indicated. Missingness of marker data within a given visit is indicated, i.e. not considering longitudinal study dropout. Percentage values indicate the relative frequency of marker presence/absence/borderline/missingness within PD-free and incident PD groups, respectively, and within each visit. GBA, glucocerebrosidase; PD, Parkinson’s disease; SN, substantia nigra.
