Age, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) data are means ± SE. Fat mass and fat-free mass (FFM) data are least-squares means ± SE. Age and height were included in the model as significant covariates. For the three-genotype (a, b, c) comparison, the omnibus P value is shown for nonsignificant results.
