BMI, Body mass index (BMI); SE, standard error; N SNPs, number of single nucleotide polymorphism; IVW, inverse variance weighted; CI, 95% confidence interval. |
The results display the data according to the goodness-of-fit for the causal or the sharing model. The median q value indicates the proportion of variants with correlated pleiotropy. CI, confidence interval; PA, physical activity; BMI, body mass index; P, P-value.
