Abbreviations: APS, adiposity phenotype study; NP, not consuming probiotic supplements regularly; NY, not consuming yogurt regularly; P, regularly consuming probiotic supplements; Y, regularly consuming yogurt.

a

Daily yogurt consumed (serving/day) from APS QFFQ.

b

A total of 1,861 participants were included in the analyses: P (N = 175), NP (N = 1,652), 34 participants had missing data of P or NP; Y (N = 818), NY (N = 1,023), 20 participants had missing data of Y or NY.

c

Beta coefficient (β) and P-value were estimated using proc GLM adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, antibiotic intake, smoking status, daily moderate/vigorous physical activity hours, body mass index, dietary fibre intake, and total calories.

d

Bonferroni-corrected p-value of 0.05/152 = 0.00033 was applied. (Bolded values indicate statistical significance after Bonferroni-correction, p-value < 0.00033).
