Associations of the individual obesity susceptibility SNPs and the GPS1 with change in adiposity-related traits2 from adolescence into adulthood3.

1The genetic predisposition score (GPS) is the sum of effect alleles from each of the nine individual SNPs.2Delta BMI and delta WC are differences between sex-specific z-scores in young adulthood and age-and-sex-specific z-scores in adolescence of BMI and WC respectively.3Number of participants: for individual SNPs = 1643 and for GPS = 1634 (those missing more than 3 SNPs excluded).The linear regression models were adjusted for pubertal development and age-difference between adolescence and adulthood regarding change BMI and additionally also for height regarding change WC, assuming an additive effect. Pregnant participants were excluded.Chrom: chromosome.
