Associations of the individual obesity-susceptibility SNPs and the GPS1 with adiposity-related traits2 in young adulthood (HUNT3)3.

1The genetic predisposition score (GPS) is the sum of effect alleles from each of the nine individual SNPs.2Sex specific z-scores of BMI and waist circumference in young adulthood.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 age 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:dLi et al. [35];eLindgren et al. [19].
