^a P values were based on ANOVA for continuous variables and on chi-square tests for categorical variables. Pairwise comparisons were adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni method. Continuous variables are expressed as means (SD). Categorical variables are expressed as percent.

^b P values for ethnicity effect

^c P values for comparing Caucasians and Chinese born in the West or migrated to the West before age 21

^d P values for comparing Caucasians and recent Chinese migrants

^e P values for comparing Chinese born in the West or migrated to the West before age 21 and recent Chinese migrants
