The UK Biobank (UKB) Brain Imaging cohort contains data from almost 100,000 subjects and has yielded invaluable understanding of the links between the brain and health outcomes and lifestyles. Much of the understanding of these links has come from exploring the association between Imaging Derived Phenotypes (IDPs) and other variables that are unrelated to brain imaging, so called non-Imaging Derived Phenotypes (nIDPs). When performing analysis of this kind, it is very important to control for we...
