Figure 5a: Forest plot on the association between Q223R alleles and overweight in case-control studies by type of population. Overall association from random effects meta-analysis (odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals) and stratification by type of population are shown, as well as heterogeneity by means of I2 value for overall measure and for subgroups. Specified populations are all populations not declared as general populations in the original studies. Figure 5b: Forest plot on the association between Q223R alleles and overweight in case-control studies by BMI cut-off value. Overall association from random effects meta-analysis (odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals) and stratification by BMI cut-off value are shown, as well as heterogeneity by means of I2 value for overall measure and for subgroups. For definition of BMI cut-off values see main text.
