Table 1 Description of traits used in the REML^A (co)variance component analysis, and estimation of BLUPs

Trait	No. Measurements^B	% Missing Observations	1^st PCA % Variation
Cohort 1
Alcohol (g/day)	2	7.42	100.00
Fasting glucose (mg/dl)	5	5.14	95.98
Fasting triglycerides (mg/dl)	1	15.17	NA
Cohort 2
Alcohol (g/day)	5	6.73	100.00
Total cholesterol (mg/dl)	5	6.73	91.37
Fasting glucose (mg/dl)	5	6.73	94.20
Fasting triglyceride (mg/dl)	5	6.73	95.22

^ASee text for explanation. ^BNo. of measurements: number of consecutive measurements used for PCA. In the case of TG in Cohort 1, only one measurement was taken to keep the proportion of missing values roughly comparable across all traits from the same cohort.
