Significant effects were found for each. However, post hoc tests failed to find any group that showed a significant difference from expected (by sex or by ethnicity). For age, full-scale IQ, and blood collection time, differences between groups were tested with a simple one-way general linear model. The values are expressed in mean ± SEM.
