; NS: not significant; categorical variables were analyzed using χ2 or Fisher exact test, accordingly. Comparisons: 1normal range (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2), preobese (BMI 25–29.9 kg/m2), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) by genotype; 2normal range, preobese, and obese by phenotype; 3obese and without obesity (BMI: 18.5–29.9 kg/m2) by genotype; 4obese and without obesity by phenotype; 5normal range, preobese, and obese by allele; 6normal range and without obesity by allele.
