All beta estimates are standardized (STDY); All models included the following covariates: sex, self-identification as Black, self-identification as Hispanic, life-stage (0: ages 30–40; 1: ages 50+), ancestral PC 1-3, age of EEG assessment. Bolded estimates withstood Bonferroni correction (p < 0.01).
