Reported prevalence estimates of Lewy body pathology (LBP) vary widely, often without considering brain regional distributions or demographic influences. Large, population-representative autopsy cohorts are needed to provide estimates and clarify the distribution and clinical implications of LBP. Neuropathological, genetic, and clinical data were pooled from nine community- or population-based brain autopsy cohorts in the USA (n=6), Brazil, Austria, and Finland (n=7309 total; 59% women; mean age
