Figure Legend:
Fitted material parameters versus age plots. (A) Fitted shear modulus μ versus age, showing a significantly increasing shear modulus with age (P = 0.038) and a significantly higher shear modulus in donors of African descent (P = 0.019). (B) Fitted elastic modulus of collagen fibrils Efib versus age, showing a significant increase with age in the European (solid black line, P < 0.001) but not in the African descent group (dashed red line, P = 0.11). The aging trends in Efib also were significantly different between racial groups (P = 0.018). material parameters (μ, Efib) were expressed on a logarithmic scale for the statistical analysis.
