in individuals by population. Boxplots summarize the distribution of the fraction of variant alleles in each sample. Horizontal lines show median values, boxes span from the 25th percentile (Q1) to the 75th percentile (Q3). Whiskers extend to Q1–1.5*IQR (bottom) and Q3 + 1.5*IQR (...
First, we examined the prevalence of parosmia in a population-based sample, with the hypothesis that the prevalence will be around 4%, mimicking the results from a previous study2. Second, we investigated the relationship between parosmia and sex, age and education; we hypothesized that these ...
