Extended Data Fig. 6. Comprehensive covariates that were modelled to evaluate the value added by the ProteinScores beyond these covariates.

Extended Data Fig. 6

Three increasingly complex sets of covariates were considered: 1) age and sex (where traits had not been sex-stratified), 2) further adjustment for a core set of six lifestyle and health covariates (BMI, alcohol consumption, social deprivation, educational attainment, smoking status and physical activity) and 3) further adjustment for an extended set of 18 biochemistry and physical attributes that are measurable in clinical settings. Performance when using only the ProteinScores was also considered. When modelled alongside age and sex, 26 possible covariates were therefore used in maximally-adjusted models.
