Note:

**

p ≤ .01;

*

p ≤ .05 (two-tailed tests), n = 412. CI = Confidence interval; BMI = Body mass index. GRSO = Genetic risk score for obesity. Diagnostic VIF scores for all variables were below 10, ranging from 1.08 to 1.52, indicating no evidence of multicollinearity among the study variables.
