TABLE 2.

Analyses of the effect of the NPY rs16147 genotype on changes in waist circumference and abdominal fat distribution from baseline to 6 and 24 mo¹

	Month 6				Month 24
	n	β	SE	P value	n	β	SE	P value
WC, cm	643	0.70	0.32	0.03	548	0.70	0.43	0.11
TAT, kg	112	0.37	0.29	0.20	84	0.03	0.45	0.95
VAT, kg	132	0.14	0.13	0.27	102	0.05	0.18	0.77
SAT, kg	112	0.36	0.28	0.21	84	0.04	0.61	0.93

¹Estimates and standard errors for the subgroup analyses were reported after adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, diet intervention, baseline value for respective variable, and baseline BMI. β represents change in outcomes for the increase in each T allele of NPY rs16147. SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; TAT, total abdominal adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; WC, waist circumference.
