  1. Cox Regression analyses of the impact of beta-blocker use at baseline and beta-agonist use at baseline, on time to reach dementia (dependent variable), including relevant baseline covariates. The study cohort is included as a categorical variable, with the largest cohort (PICNICS) as the reference category. Includes participants with all covariates available for analysis (Beta blocker analysis n = 722; Beta agonist analysis n = 712) (NYPUM and ParkWest cohorts not included due to absence of CIRS data).
  2. PD Parkinson’s Disease, MDS-UPDRS Part III Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III, CIRS Cumulative Illness Rating Scale, MMSE Mini-Mental State Examination.
  3. *p < 0.05.
