Fig. 1: Weights representing the proportion of the positive and negative effects in the overall mixture in relation telomere length.

Panel A shows weights for parental (N = 256), B for newborn (all, N = 385) and C for paired newborn (N = 175) samples. Note that the magnitude of positive weights can only be compared to other positive weights (not to negative weights) and vice versa. Black bars indicate negative weights, while gray bars indicate positive weights.
