ADRB3 Polymorphism Associated with BMI Gain in Japanese Men

Table 5

Multiple regression analysis for annual BMI gain and variables in Japanese women.

	Estimate	SE	𝑡 value	Pr(>|𝑡|)
Intercept	−0.421	0.474	−0.888	0.392
Age	0.004	0.012	0.363	0.723
Alcohol intake	0.000	0.000	0.486	0.636
Current exercise	−0.357	0.263	−1.356	0.200
Working style	0.147	0.153	0.958	0.357
Smoking status	0.057	0.183	0.309	0.763
ADRB3 (Trp/Arg)	0.127	0.256	0.497	0.628
LDL	0.005	0.003	1.746	0.106

From the stepwise multiple regression analysis, age, alcohol intake, current exercise, working style, smoking status, LDL, and the ADRB3 polymorphism were selected for the final model of the predictor of BMI gain, adjusted 𝑅²=−.078 (F-statistic =.803, 𝑃>.05).
