OR, odds ratio. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify diet- and exercise-related changes made 6 wk after genotype disclosure. For each health-behavior change, the reference genotype was ϵ4−.

Endpoints were adjusted for age, sex, race, randomization arm, baseline prevention, number of affected relatives, and education (<4 or ≥4 y of college).
