Values for obesity status, ethnicity, and gender are in number of subjects (percentage). P values were determined by Pearson’s chi-square test, significant at P < 0.05. a Pearson’s chi-square test was performed for wild-type and combined mutant genotypes (GG and GA+AA) as some AA frequencies had values of less than 5.
Values for measurements are in mean (SD). P values were determined by b Mann–Whitney U or Kruskal–Wallis tests for nonnormally distributed data and c Student’s t test or ANOVA for normally distributed data, significant at P < 0.05.
