Earlier physical activity, smoking and age were set as covariates. Bonferroni correction was accounted for multiple post-hoc comparisons.
BMI: p = 0.007 for main effect, *p = 0.005 between the genotype groups CC and AA.
Waist circumference: p = 0.012 for main effect, #p = 0.012 between the genotype groups CC and AA.
p>0.0125 for main effect between genotype groups for rest of the variables.
