This study aimed to investigate gender differences in clinical characteristics in patients with early PD.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>This study included 415 PD patients (201 men and 214 women) with modified Hoehn-Yahr stage 1 to 3 and a disease duration of \u22645\u200ayears. Demographic information was obtained by interviews, and motor and non-motor PD symptoms were evaluated with appropriate scales.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>Women with PD had a shorter duration of formal education than men with PD. No significant differences were found in other demographic variables. Women with PD had significantly lower scores in Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale part III and postural tremor compared to men with PD, which was significant after controlling for formal education. No significant gender-related differences were found in scores related to other motor symptoms. Concerning non-motor symptoms, men with PD had higher scores of sexual function on the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale, which means sexual dysfunction was more severe or occurred more frequently in men with PD. Women with PD had significantly higher scores of sleep disturbance in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, which was not significant after adjustment for multiple comparison.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>The present study suggests that women with PD had milder motor symptoms compared to men with PD, and gender differences in sexual function can be observed as non-motor symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n
