Of the 5,764 individuals who agreed to participate in the AGES-Reykjavik study, 5,427 individuals attended the research center for examinations while 337 received a home visit. A total of 204 individuals did not contribute CT-data at the research center. However, among those individuals with CT, only 3,664 had genotyping at the Laboratory of Neurogenetics, Intramural Research Program, NIA, Bethesda, Maryland, and 3,219 participants passed QC criteria for genotyping. Of these, 3172 had complete genotyping and complete CT data for abdominal subcutaneous and visceral adipose depots.
