FTO variant rs9939609 is associated with body mass index and waist circumference, but not with energy intake or physical activity in European- and African-American youth

Table 4 Association of rs9939609 with energy intake, percentage of energy intake from carbohydrates, protein and fat and vigorous physical activity measured through recall and accelerometry

P-values represent significance of the additive model (per-allele effect);
EI = energy intake; %CARBO = percentage of energy from carbohydrates; %PRO = percentage of energy from protein; %FAT= percentage of energy from fat; VPA = vigorous physical activity.
a: adjusted for age, ethnicity, gender;
b: adjusted for age, ethnicity, gender and BMI;
c: recalled VPA in the LACHY and APEX study;
d: measured VPA through accelerometer in the LACHY study.
