A number of individuals from each decade of life were deliberately chosen to ascertain the effects of age on the examined traits (see Tables 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6). The total age range extends from 15 to 101 years and is reasonably well balanced (Table 3.2). The mean age of the entire sample is 54.1 years, with a standard deviation of 19.0 years. There are 510 males with an age range of 18 to 96 years (mean = 54.0, s = 18.2). The 411 females span from 15 to 101 years (mean = 54.2, s = 19.9). Both the oldest and the youngest individuals in the sample are females, with the youngest being a European American female (age = 15 years), and the oldest being and African American (age = 101 years). The sample consists of 354 European Americans (Tables 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5). This subsample has an age range of 15 to 96 years (mean age = 54.7, s = 18.8). The 335 African Americans have an age range of 17 to 101 years (mean = 50.0, s = 19.5) (Tables 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5). There are 78 European Africans with a with an age range from 40 to 94 years (mean = 71.7, s = 12.7) (Table 3.6). The Native African sample consists of 154 individuals with an age range of 19 to 85 years (mean = 52.4, s = 15.3) (Table 3.6). TABLE 3.2. Age Distribution of the Entire Study Sample.
