Effects of AGT +11525 C/A genotype, sex and obesity on body fat distribution
| Parameter of body fat distribution | Obesity a significant factor | Obesity status (if applicable) | Men—effect | Men—p value | Women—effect | Women—p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waist circumference | No | NA | CC > CA + AA | 0.022 | CC < CA + AA | 0.109 |
| Hip circumference | Yes | Obese | CC > CA + AA | 0.120 | CC < CA + AA | 0.015 |
| Non-obese | – | – | – | – | ||
| Skin-fold thickness (triceps) | Yes | Obese | – | – | – | – |
| Non-obese | CC < CA + AA | 0.064 | CC > CA + AA | 0.023 | ||
| Skin-fold thickness (supraspinal) | No | NA | CC > CA + AA | 0.022 | CC < CA + AA | 0.003 |
| Skin-fold thickness (sum) | Yes | Obese | CC > CA + AA | 0.081 | CC < CA + AA | 0.028 |
| Non-obese | – | – | – | – |
NA not applicable. Trends with p < 0.15 are listed in the table. Significant effects with p < 0.05 are marked bold. In case of waist–hip ratio, bicipital and subscapular skin-fold thickness, AGT +11525 C/A genotype was not significant factor in the model
