Note. “PGS Present” refers to the 115 participants without missing PGS data. “PGS Absent” refers to the 50 participants with missing PGS data. “Full Sample” refers to the 165 participants with and without missing PGS data. The P-value column refers to independent samples t- and chi-square tests that compare differences between the PGS present (N=115) and PGS absent (N=50) samples on measures included in subsequent analyses. BMI = body mass index; mYFAS = Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale; VS = ventral striatum; PGS = polygenic scores.
