Table 5. Results of ANCOVAs comparing the digit ratios of women that played overhand playing sports with those that did not.
Digit Ratio | B ± SE | 95% C.I. | Wald χ2 | P | Model χ2 | P |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Right 2D4D | 0.027 ± 0.009 | 0.010–0.044 | 9.45 | 0.002 | 9.28 | 0.010 |
Right 2D5D | 0.036 ± 0.014 | 0.009–0.063 | 6.73 | 0.009 | 10.27 | 0.006 |
Left 2D4D | 0.023 ± 0.008 | 0.007–0.093 | 7.67 | 0.006 | 8.48 | 0.014 |
Left 2D5D | 0.038 ± 0.014 | 0.011–0.065 | 7.63 | 0.006 | 14.83 | 0.006 |
ANCOVAs was performed with digit ratios as the dependent variables, whether or not a women played an overhand throwing sport as a fixed effect and mean finger lengths as covariates. All Wald χ2 df = 1. All Wald χ2 P remained statistically significant after performing a Holm-Bonferroni sequential correction for multiple tests: Right 2D4D, Padjusted = 0.008; Right 2D5D, Padjusted = 0.018; Left 2D4D, Padjusted = 0.018; Left 2D5D, Padjusted = 0.018. All Model χ2 df = 2. All model χ2 P remained statistically significant after performing a Holm-Bonferroni sequential correction for multiple tests all Padjusted = 0.024.
