Number of Cases for Different Genetic Biomarker Data in MHAS by Wave of Collection

MHAS Wave Genome-Wide Genetic Data (blood) Genome-Wide Genetic Data (saliva) APOE Genotype Data Ancestry
n = 2 623 n = 7 218 n = 8 600 n = 7 156
In study*
MHAS 2012, n (%) 1912 (73) 1951 (22.7) 845 (11.8)
Mex-Cog 2016, n (%) 711 (27) 733 (8.5) 401 (5.6)
MHAS 2018—saliva, n (%) 7218 (100) 5916(68.8) 5910(82.6)

Notes: Please note that there is an overlap of genome-wide genetic data obtained from blood and saliva. APOE = apolipoprotein-E; MHAS = Mexican Health and Aging Study.

*For 2012 and 2016, genome-wide genetic data results come from EDTA tubes.
