Additive genetic covariance matrix (G) for male and female traits. G consists of four submatrices: the additive genetic covariance matrix for (a) males (Gm) and (d) females (Gf) and the additive genetic covariance between (c) the sexes (B) and (b) its transpose (BT). Subscripts m and f refer to males and females, respectively. Values are log10 (×1000). TC, total cholesterol (mg/100 ml); WT, weight (kg); HT, height (cm); SBP/DBP, systolic/diastolic blood pressure (mmHg); GLU, blood glucose (mg/100 ml); BIR, age at first birth. p-values: bold, p < 0.001; bold italic, p < 0.01; italic, p < 0.05; others, p > 0.05. Bonferroni adjustment was applied to p-values (α = 0.05/105 = 0.00047). Cultural (smoking, education, country of origin) and common environment (maternal ID) effects were accounted for in all estimates.
