Note. All models included genotype, sex, age at assessment (linear and quadratic term), and a genotype × age interaction as fixed effects along with random intercept per individual and slope for age. For both ALDH2 and ADH1B, genotypes of A/A or A/G (i.e., at least one protective allele) are coded as 1. β = standardized coefficient; SE = standard error
