^aBMI = weight (in kg)/height² (in cm); ⩽18.5 = underweight; 18.5–24.99 = normal weight; 25–29.99 = overweight; ⩾30.0 = obese. NA = data not available.

^bTissue was used for individual ETS-abnormal fiber analysis.

^cTissue was used for mtDNA⁴⁹⁷⁷ homogenate analysis.

^dTissue was used for mtDNA⁷⁶⁶⁴ homogenate analysis.
