ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION
The most commonly reported health problems in the cohort (Table Autonomic function, as assessed by SCOPA‐AUT, averaged 13.5 ± 7.8 in the overall cohort, not significantly different between men and women. Urinary and bowel incontinence, as well as orthostatic hypotension were not different between men and women. Men reported a nearly two‐fold higher rate of sexual dysfunction compared to women (68% vs. 37%).Approximately 27% of the cohort reported a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurring on average 31 years ago, which was more common in men (29.2% vs. 16.7%; albeit non‐significant The most common mental health problems were anxiety (39.3%) and depression (recent, <2 years ago, 31.0%; or inactive, >2 years ago, 29.5%). Individuals self‐reporting anxiety and depression averaged 14.4 ± 11.4 and 9.1 ± 6.1 for BAI and PHQ‐9 scores, respectively. However, self‐reported BAI and PHQ‐9 scores in the overall group averaged 8.1 ± 8.8 and 5.2 ± 5.4, respectively, which are scores below clinical thresholds for anxiety or depression (BAI scores <16 indicate mild to no anxiety; PHQ‐9 scores <10 indicate mild to no depression). Considering previously reported associations between PTSD and RBD,The Neuropsychiatric Inventory assessed domains related to delusions, hallucinations, anxiety, and apathy/indifference. This cohort had low rates of current delusions or hallucinations (~4%–5%), whereas anxiety was reported at 22.2% and apathy/indifference at 19.7%. Although men had higher rates in the “apathy/indifference” (22.7% vs. 6.1%;
