Table 2. Multivariate regression analysis of waist hip ratio in South Asian compared to European participants in the LOLIPOP Study.
Adjustments made | WHR difference (95% CI) South Asians vs. Europeans | P value |
---|---|---|
Age, Sex | 0.030 (0.027–0.034) | 6.3E-68 |
Age, Sex + BMI | 0.038 (0.035–0.041) | 2.3E-132 |
Age, Sex + BMI + 37 WHR SNPs | 0.038 (0.034–0.042) | 6.0E-76 |
Age, Sex + BMI + 37 WHR SNPs + 11 additional WHR SNPs | 0.037 (0.033–0.042) | 3.1E-61 |
37 WHR SNPs–previously reported associations with WHR in men and women (P<5x10-8); 11 additional WHR SNPs–previously reported associations with WHR in women alone (P<5x10-8).
