Figure 2: The UK Biobank partner correlation point estimates for 133 traits, along with their respective Bonferroni-adjusted 95% confidence intervals, grouped by category of the trait.

Figure 2:

The point estimates on the y-axis represent the estimated partner correlation—along with Bonferroni-adjusted 95% confidence intervals (adjusting for 133 traits)--for the corresponding trait on the x-axis. Estimates are based on up to 79,074 pairs; Supplementary Table 4 includes the precise sample size/point estimate for each trait along with the Bonferroni-adjusted p-values associated with the adjusted 95% confidence intervals depicted in this figure. Traits are grouped according to six categories: health-related, psychological, demographic/family, substance use, anthropometric, and behavioral. Points representing partner correlations for continuous traits (Pearson correlations) are blue; points representing partner correlations for ordinally-coded traits (Spearman correlations) are red; points representing partner correlations for dichotomously-coded traits (Tetrachoric correlations) are light green. Num Dep Episodes = Number of Depressive Episodes; Heel BMD = Heel Bone Mineral Density (in the form of a t-score); LDL = Direct Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, CRP = C-reactive Protein; RBC = Red Blood Cell (Erythrocyte) Count; DBP = Diastolic Blood Pressure; CPD (All Participants) = Cigarettes per Day (Includes Current, Former, and Never Smokers); FEV1 Pred % = Forced Expiratory Volume in 1-Second (FEV1), Predicted Percentage; PEF = Peak Expiratory Flow; WBC = White Blood Cell (Leukocyte) Count; SBP = Systolic Blood Pressure; HDL = High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol; CPD (Smokers Only) = Cigarettes per Day (Restricted to Current or Former Smokers); WHR = Waist-to-hip Ratio; BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate; FIQ = Fluid Intelligence Quotient; BMI = Body Mass Index; FVC = Forced Vital Capacity; Time to First Cig = Time to First Cigarette; EA = Educational Attainment.
