*General linear models were adjusted for age, gender, baseline BMI and change in sedentary time. When interactions were tested (SNP x nutritional intervention, gender x nutritional intervention), the P value was not significant (P > 0.05). Data for the outcomes fat-free mass, body fat percentage and lean mass were not significant
