Abbreviations: CIRS-G = Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-Geriatric; Education 1 = high school; 2 = some college/technical school; 3 = college; 4 = graduate degree; H&Y = Hoehn and Yahr; LEDD = levodopa equivalent daily; MOCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment; PADS-R = Physical Activity and Disability Survey-Revised; PIGD = postural instability gait dominant; TD = tremor dominant; UPDRS III = Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Motor. Note: tremor dominant and postural instability gait disorder subtypes as determined by UPDRS scores; CIRS-G: higher scores indicate higher levels of comorbidity; MOCA: <26 indicates impaired cognition; PADS-R: lower scores are associated with sedentary levels of activity.
