UK Biobank/PhenotypeRequest

If you would like to request new variables for an analysis on UK Biobank you are planning, please fill in the information below.

Please note the following:

1. You will need to go to the main UK Biobank phenotype webpage (http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/catalogs.cgi) to find the relevant information.

2. Place a separate entry for each scientific question.

3. Please try to make each entry clean and easy for me to use; check "show preview" before saving to ensure that your entries look like the first two entries.

4. Please copy the formatting below to add more entries.

1 Your name: Teresa de Candia

The variable name, link to the variable, and Field ID for EACH variable, listed below:

1. Home location at assessment - east co-ordinate http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=20033 Field ID 20033

2. Home location at assessment - north co-ordinate http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=20034 Field ID 20034

3. Number in household http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=709 Field ID 709

4. How are people in household related to participant http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=6141 Field ID 6141

5. Father's age http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=2946 Field ID 2946

6. Mother's age http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=1845 Field ID 1845

7. Number of vehicles in household http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=728 Field ID 728

8. Length of time at current address http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=699 Field 699

The research question you are planning to answer with the variables above:

These variables will enable us to infer who the spouses are for participants in the UK Biobank, as has been done in a previous study (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13059-015-0833-8). We are doing a project on how assortative mating affects estimates from GCTA, and we need to know how correlated each phenotype we have access to is between spouses.

2 Your name: Teresa de Candia

The variable name, link to the variable, and Field ID for EACH variable, listed below:

1. Bone mineral density http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=78 Field 78

The research question you are planning to answer with the variables above:

We need to find a phenotype for which the spousal correlation is expected to be low; we think that bone mineral density might show a low spousal correlation.
