Figure 1. Association of Serum Lipids with Mean Genome–Wide African Ancestry.

Figure 1

Lower TG and higher HDL-C are associated with increasing African ancestry, calculated as the proportion of genome-wide loci at which an individual has an “African” vs. “European” derived allele. Estimates were obtained through multiple regression models in non-diabetic African Americans from the Howard University Family Study. Models were adjusted for BMI, gender, age, education, alcohol intake, and smoking habits.
