Tests of association were performed using logistic and linear regression between 36 outcomes and percent African global genetic ancestry among African Americans in EAGLE BioVU (n = 11,166). Descriptive statistics as well as summary statistics of all associations are shown for each outcome tested.

Abbreviations odds ratio (OR), standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE)
