The dependent variable was calcification and was dichotomized as negative (to represent the absence of calcification in the pineal gland) and positive (to represent the presence of calcification in the pineal gland). The independent variables were age range and gender. Age was grouped into nine ranges: 10 years or younger, 11–20, 21–30, 31–40, 41–50, 51–60, 61–70, 71–80, and 81 years or older for the incidence analysis and utilized as a continuous variable for the logistic regression analysis.
