The agreement of genotype frequencies with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was tested by using the chi-squared test, with χ2 < 3.841 considered as no deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Logistic regression was conducted to determine the risk of obesity associated with gene variants. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated for each genotype. Adjusted for age, gender, physical activity status, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. was considered significant.
