BMI values are presented as mean ± SD. BMI, body mass index, CI: confidence interval, and OR: odds ratio.
Obesity in logistic regression was adjusted by age, gender, glucose, triglycerides, and LDL-C and HDL-C levels. Genotype was included as dominant model in logistic and multivariate analysis.
Linear regression of BMI as dependent variable was adjusted by age, gender, glucose, triglycerides, and LDL-C and HDL-C levels.
