This table shows the summary statistics for the study sample. For the main analyses, I use rLRS, not LRS. The phenotypic variable for TC is an indicator for a self-reported health problem with high cholesterol, and not plasma concentrations of TC as in the GWAS of TC. The HRS does not contain phenotypic variables for GLU, AAM, and SCZ.
