Pearson correlations of height SD and BMI SD with comorbidities as defined by individual NMDAS questions. Estimated Pearson correlation coefficients and uncorrected P values are shown. The Bonferroni corrected threshold of significance for correlations is 0.001 because 38 independent tests were performed. Disease manifestations represent answers to questions from sections II and III of the NMDAS assessment, because these are physician assessed and therefore more likely to be objective. Hearing impairment from section I was included, because this is the only assessment of this common mitochondrial disease manifestation within the NMDAS.
