Outline of Final Research Achievements	We investigated the confounding effect of unadjusted cryptic relatedness among a rural cohort in the relationship between environmental risk factors and quantitative traits interms of sample size, the prevalence, the helitability of liability, the effect size of environmental risk factores. We found a confounding effect of cryptic relatedness in the relationship between quantitative trait and environmnetal risk factors was not negligible.
