Abstract

This pilot examined prodromal markers in post-9/11 Veterans with TBI and probable REM sleep behavior disorder (N = 12). RBD was confirmed in 5 of 10 (50 %) participants with polysomnography. Veterans with subthreshold parkinsonism had lower olfactory scores. Future studies should quantify REM sleep without atonia and include broader markers.
