This study demonstrated possible rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD)'s relationship to longitudinal, incident cognitive impairment in the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) database. Age did not moderate this relationship, suggesting that RBD serves as a cognitive risk factor across individuals of all ages with recently diagnosed Parkinson's disease.
