Abbreviation: BMI, body mass index; LD, linkage disequilibrium; SNV, single-nucleotide variant; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio.

a

Female was a reference group for sex, and lower education and income level was the reference group from psychosocial status. The significance level was assessed at .05.

b

General linear model: BMI = intercept + SNV (eg, LD Block 1: rs1558902: A) + sex + age + income + education + stress + depression + PC 1-10 + error.

c

General linear model: WHtR = intercept + SNV (eg, LD Block 1: rs1558902: A) + sex + age + income + education + stress + depression + PC 1-10 + error.
