FTO Gene Associates and Interacts with Obesity Risk, Physical Activity, Energy Intake, and Time Spent Sitting: Pilot Study in a Nigerian Population

Figure 2

Effect of the FTO rs9939609 genotype on adiposity measures (body weight, BMI, and NC) stratified by category of PA. values are for the interaction between the FTO variant and PA category; least-squares means of different genotypes across all PA groups were calculated using Robust Linear Regression analysis, after adjusting for age and sex. Allele frequency by PA category was low: 20/43/14; moderate: 28/34/13; high: 27/13/9 for TT, TA, and AA genotypes, respectively. BMI: body mass index; NC: neck circumference. Mean of each variable with genotype for high PA is different from mean of each genotype for low PA at but not in NC TA and TT genotype.
