1

Values are mean ± SD unless otherwise indicated. *Values in parentheses are mean ± SEM adjusted for sex, age, and BMI, and P values for ANOVA adjusting for these covariates.

2

P value for comparison among genotypes by chi-square test or ANOVA. Continuous variables that were not normally distributed were transformed to ranks for analysis.

3

Indicates continuous variables that were not normally distributed. Median; 25th, 75th percentiles are shown except in the case of blood pressure, where mean ± SD are shown to allow comparisons to adjusted means.

4

Data were available for 92 participants: 23, 42, and 25, respectively, for the “dd,” “d5,” and “55” genotypes.
