Table 3.

Estimates from separate regressions of each polygenic trait (or genotype) on the proportion of paddy rice. This table shows parameter estimates (with p-values) of the effect of rice and control variables from separate regressions of each polygenic trait (or genotype). All models include the covariates of age, the city size of the place where participants grew up (rural, town or city) and ethnic ancestry.
