Female PD patients have a higher incidence of motor complications. Younger age of onset and higher H&Y stage were the risk factors of the wearing-off phenomenon, and younger onset age was the risk factor of dyskinesia in female PD patients. There may be a certain correlation between the occurrence of motor complications and sex hormone levels in female PD patients, which requires further verification.
