By excluding subjects such as art, design, music, dance and drama from the Ebacc, she argues, "a big red signal is hoisted saying with total clarity, 'We don't care'".
After the drink containing glucose, cognitive facilitation was observed on the prospective memory task after excluding subjects with impaired fasting glucose level.
However, our study design had attempted to exclude possible confounders by enrolling matched controls and excluding subjects with extreme ages and secondary RCVS.
The correlations remained unchanged also after excluding subjects with IGT and T2D (data not shown).
Excluding subjects with macroalbuminuria had no appreciable effect on the estimates.
The allele/genotype frequencies in the phenotypic groups (lean vs. obese) remained unchanged also after excluding subjects with T2D.
We also performed the same analyses excluding subjects above the age of 50 (2 subjects with LLS and 1 subject with NC).
Cox regressions were also performed excluding subjects with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer at baseline, and were repeated when including pregnant women.
After excluding subjects for failed genotyping exceeding the 10% threshold, 414 individuals remained for subsequent analysis (genotyping rate in these subjects was >99%).
Finally, we repeated all analyses excluding subjects from the MEC and EPIC cohorts, and found no meaningful differences in associations when compared to overall findings (data not shown).
Incorporating sample design, excluding people who died from skin cancers, excluding subjects with diseases at baseline, and including pregnant women did not change the findings.
