Principal components analysis phenotype clusters significantly associated with EAA (FDR q-value <0.1)

Factor Description Odds ratio (95% CI) p q

1 Sit/rise score, mean leg balance, 6-minute walk distance, body mass index (−), waist circumference (−) 0.73 (0.59, 0.89) 0.0025 0.048
2 Pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity, carbon monoxide diffusing capacity [DLCO], forced expiratory volume), grip strength, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells (absolute), 6-minute walk distance, sex 1.60 (1.18, 2.20) 0.0029 0.048
12 Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein 1.32 (1.07, 1.62) 0.0091 0.0997

Odds ratios (ORs) from a logistic regression model adjusted for sex; ORs >1 indicate an increase in EAA with an increase in the factor; ORs <1 indicate a decrease in EAA with an increase in the factor. Components of each factor with absolute loadings <0.4 are shown; variables designated “(−)” are negatively loaded on the factors while all others are positively loaded.

CI, confidence interval; EAA, epigenetic age acceleration; FDR, false discovery rate
