ALL consists of all self– identified African American (AFA) and Hispanic Americans (HA) participants; AFA consists of self– identified AFA participants; AFA subgroup consists of the self– identified AFA with >0.2 AFR and <0.05 AMI admixture; HA consists of self– identified HA participants; HA subgroup consists of the self– identified HA with >0.1 AMI and <0.1 AFR admixture.

Analysis was performed using the following covariates: age at entry, smoking, education, parity, exercise and income.

The estimate is the proportion of the SD attributed to admixture from each continent based on complete (100%) admixture.
