Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; Coef = coefficient; N/A = not applicable; NHW = non-Hispanic white; ref = reference.

Circulating CC16 levels were expressed as z-scores in the model. N values in Table 1 are smaller than N values in Figure 1 because the former includes CC16 levels between ages 6 and 32 years; the latter also includes CC16 levels at birth.

*

Models including rs3741240 were restricted to white participants to control for population stratification. No differences in minor allele frequencies and genotype distributions of rs3741240 were present across the ethnic groups NHW/NHW, NHW/Hispanic, and Hispanic/Hispanic. In addition, significant effects of rs3741240 on CC16 levels were found in all three ethnic groups.

Both Hispanic and non-Hispanic white participants.

Coefficients represent interaction between sex and year.
