p values for association of obesity SNPs adjusted for age, sex, community group, and n-3 PUFA intake. Estimates of effect size (β) are reported for additive model and BMI-increasing alleles using transformed phenotypes. Results significant at p ≤ 0.005 are highlighted in bold. Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (PBF), hip circumference (HC), thigh circumference (ThC), and waist circumference (WC)
