BMI (kg/m2)
Fitness APOE n Mean (SD) Mean difference (95% CI)* P value
High Not E4-containing 104 16.39 (1.69)
E4-containing 34 16.44 (1.68) 0.074 (-0.59, 0.73) 0.825
Low Not E4-containing 104 18.07 (2.88)
E4-containing 41 16.25 (1.65) -1.78 (-2.74, -0.83) <0.001
Difference in effect 0.002

Fitness measured by shuttle test and dichotomised at the median.

*Linear regression adjusted for age and sex.
