Associations of the individual obesity-susceptibility SNPs and the GPS¹ with adiposity-related traits² in adolescence of Young-HUNT1³.

1The genetic predisposition score (GPS) is the sum of effect alleles from each of the nine individual SNPs. 2Age and sex specific z-scores of BMI and waist circumference in adolescence. 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 maturity regarding BMI and additionally also for height regarding WC, assuming an additive effect. Pregnant participants were excluded. Chrom: chromosome. Comparable effect sizes in the literature: aden Hoed et al. [21]; bZhao et al. cWiller et al. [17].
