Data are parameter value ± standard error of measurement (SE). When the interaction term with secretor status was present in the final model, results are separated by secretor and non-secretor groups, whereas when the interaction term was not present in the final model, results are presented for the entire cohort. Significant p-values are indicated by the bold text. BMI—body mass index; FFM—fat-free mass; FFMI—fat-free mass index; FM—fat mass; FM/FFM—fat mass to fat-free mass ratio; FMI—fat mass index.
