UK Biobank’s “Index Number,” “Field Description,” “Field ID,” and sample size (ns) for data field used to generate factors evaluated via multiple linear regression. Data fields were chosen to match the questions posed in MindCrowd. If multiple instances (e.g., 0–4, timepoints) were available for data, only the first (instance 0) was used. For cvrRT and FHAD, multiple columns were compiled to generate the factor. For the UKBb MindCrowd and UK Biobank analyses, participants were removed if their responses to a demographic, medical, health, and lifestyle question did not match the other cohort.
