Table 2.

Number of CpGs showing significant association with age in each model.

Model Common New No longer significant Total # of significant CpGs
1 8,156 8,156
2 6,767 569 1,389 7,336
3 4,474 60 2,862 4,534
4 3,686 577 848 4,263

Total number of CpGs interrogated: 420,132

Common: # of CpGs showing significant association with age both in this model and in the previous model (e.g., significant in both model 2 and model 1)

New: # of CpGs showing significant association with age in this model but not in the previous model (e.g., significant in model 2 but not in model 1)

No longer significant: # of CpGs showing significant association with age in the previous model but not in this model (e.g., significant in model 1 but not in model 2)
