Table 2.

Logistic regression of BMI genetic risk score (clumping at r² cutoff .1 and 250 kb window including 10 PCs at p<1.0) as predictor and weight loss goals and behaviors as outcomes

	Females			Males

	OR (95% CI)	p	pseudo R²	OR (95% CI)	p	pseudo R²

Weight loss goals	1.29 (1.18–1.40)	<0.001	0.02	1.42 (1.27–1.59)	<0.001	0.03
Weight loss behaviors^a	1.24 (1.14–1.35)	<0.001	0.01	1.43 (1.26–1.62)	<0.001	0.02

Adjusted for BMI^b

Weight loss goals	1.03 (0.94–1.13)	0.56	0.11	1.00 (0.88–1.14)	0.97	0.18
Weight loss behaviors^a	1.06 (0.96–1.16)	0.24	0.06	1.07 (0.92–1.23)	0.38	0.12

Bold indicates p<0.00625 (Bonferroni correction)

Weight loss behaviors include dieting, vomiting, fasting/skipping meals, or laxative/diuretic use to lose weight

BMI is significantly associated with all outcomes in both sexes (p<0.001)
