Dependent variable. △: variation between pre- and postintervention; FM: fat mass; %FM: fat mass percentage; WC: waist circumference; HC: hip circumference. Independent variables: G/C polymorphism, sex, age, and nutritional factors (ingestion carbohydrates, fat, proteins, and fibers in the sixth week of intervention). For each body composition variable, a separate model was made.
