For epidemiological analyses, presented are the number of data points (observations and calculated mean/max values) analyzed for each phenotype category, the corresponding number of individuals implicated and hence residual values generated. For genetic analyses, presented are the number of these individuals for whom pedigree information was available and thus the number of independent families and relative pairs count for each phenotype in the heritability analyses. In parentheses, the number belonging to the large complex family.
