Fig. 3. Sex-specific inbreeding depression.

Fig. 3

As in the previous figure effects estimates and coefficients were standardized using within-sex standard deviations. Effects estimates (βFROH) and 95% confidence intervals are shown in units of within-sex standard deviations. The effect of FROH in men versus that in women is shown for 9 traits for which there was evidence of significant differences in the effects between sexes. Traits such as body mass index (BMI), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and total cholesterol (TC) showed sex-specific effects of opposite direction, positive in women but negative in men. For just two traits, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and height, the magnitude of effect was greater in women.
