Tests: There were 114 families with data for both the mother and father, 109 families with data for the mother only and 27 families with data for the father only. For the continuous variable “age”, the test was based on a linear mixed effects model (function lme in R package nlme). For the other variables, tests were based on a generalized mixed effects model for dichotomous variables (function glmmTMB with family binomial in R package glmmTMB)
