Multivariate odds ratio regression adjusted for risk factors demonstrates a 5-unit increment in the total bilirubin raises the risk of early-stage PD by 1.16 times, respectively. Smooth splines analysis suggested a linear association between levels of total bilirubin and risk of early-stage PD (P nonlinearity = 0.968). Further exploratory subgroup analysis within the age, sex, BMI, and MCI groups showed that there were no significant interactions between the subgroups (all P values for interaction were >0.05).
