Table outlining the body mass index (BMI) associated with each ethnic group and with ΔTTTCT deletion positive (Δ+) and ΔTTTCT (<b>Δ</b>-) deletion negative groups.

Table Key: Δ+: ΔTTTCT deletion positive; Δ-: ΔTTTCT deletion negative aPercentages in parenthesis in the first column indicate percent fraction of the study population that belong to each ethnic group. bNumbers in parenthesis in columns 2–4 indicate the number of subjects associated with each cell. †, §Ethnic groups have significantly different BMI's (ANOVA, F = 4.71, P<0.005); follow-up Fisher's Least Significant Difference test (P<0.05) test shows †Chinese have lower BMI than Southeast Asians or Pacific Islanders and §Koreans having a lower BMI than Pacific Islanders. #Student independent t-test shows significant difference (p<0.05) between ΔTTTCT deletion positive (Δ+) and ΔTTTCT deletion negative (Δ-) individuals.
