The “Coefficients” column reports the coefficient obtained by performing a weighted regression on the biomarker against age. The “neg-log-corrected-p-values” column reports the corresponding p-values, Bonferroni corrected for the 50 tests. The “Pearson correlations” column reports the weighted correlation between age and the biomarker.
