Data are the mean ± standard deviation in age, MMSE scores, and TICV. The values for comparison in age, MMSE scores, and TICV were obtained by independent t-tests. The values for distribution of sex were obtained by chi-square tests. HC, healthy control group; PD, Parkinson’s disease group; MMSE, mini-mental status examination; TICV, total intracranial cavity volume.
