Data are expressed as mean (SD values presented in parenthesis) except stated otherwise; ANOVA test (Bonferroni multiple comparability test) was used to compare means across genotype while Kruskal–Wallis test was used to test the difference in physical activity; BMI: body mass index, NC: neck circumference, WC: waist circumference, WHR: waist to hip ratio, WHtR: waist to height ratio, R2D : 4D: ratio of right hand second to fourth digit, and L2D : 4D: ratio of left hand second to fourth digit; TSS: time spent sitting, TPA: total physical activity, VPA: vigorous physical activity, MPA: moderate physical activity, and LPA: low physical activity; adata expressed with the same superscript in the same row are not statistically different at p < 0.05; ∗∗data are expressed by median (range); Kruskal–Wallis test (comparability test Dunns).
