The chi-square (χ2) test was used for the determination of genotype distribution between nonobese and obese subjects. Adjustments for age and sex were performed by logistic regression analysis. CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio. values remained significant after the Bonferroni correction. £The sum does not add up to the total because of a few missing genotypes in nonobese and obese subjects.
