Higher age, male sex, cognitive impairment, higher postural instability gait disorder score, and the presence of psychotic symptoms are independent predictors of decreased survival in Parkinson's disease. Mortality in Parkinson's disease thus seems to be affected mainly by non-dopaminergic and non-motor features.
