Extended Data Fig. 2. Partner correlations and Bonferroni-Adjusted 95% confidence intervals for 133 traits in the UK Biobank.

Extended Data Fig. 2

The visualized traits represent partner correlations for all of the adequately-powered UK Biobank traits (out of an original 140). Each estimate is color-coded by the correlation type— Pearson (in blue), Spearman (in red), and Tetrachoric (in green), used for continuous, ordinal, and binary traits, respectively—with the lines depicting the Bonferroni-adjusted 95% confidence interval for each trait. Estimates are based on up to 79,074 pairs; Supplementary Table 4 includes the precise sample size for each trait along with the Bonferroni-adjusted p-values associated with the adjusted 95% confidence intervals depicted in this figure. See main text for description of specific analyses. 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.
