Anthropometric and lifestyle variables in healthy controls with respect to LUMA genome wide methylation quartiles (Stage 1).

aFor continuous variables, P-value was derived from Kruskal-Wallis test. For categorical variables, P-value was derived from a chi square test, with the exclusion of “Unknown” categories due to their small cell counts. Both reflect the association between quartiles of methylation and the investigated variables.
*Significant at the Bonferroni-corrected significance cut off (P = 0.003) for multiple comparisons.
