Linear regression models use a continuous GDA covariate as a proportion, and the estimates are therefore interpreted as a comparison for subjects with 100% GDA for a particular region relative to a reference group (ref) with 100% GDA. Negative values indicate lower average values than the reference. Eur=Europe; Afk=Africa; Amer=Americas, GDA=Genetically determined ancestry, SRR=Self-reported Race/Ethnicity; (LCI, UCI)=95% percent confidence interval.
