  1. 1. p-values are taken from the model z-scores. It was not possible to run likelihood ratio tests because robust variance estimates were required given the use of sampling weights
  2. Model 1 African admixture and APOE
  3. Model 2 Ethnic identity and APOE
  4. Model 3 African admixture, ethnic identity and APOE
  5. Model 3 African admixture, ethnic identity, APOE, age, sex and education
