  1. Results are presented as β ± SE, β coefficients represent the mean difference in body fat percentage and triceps skinfold thickness for each additional rare allele of the corresponding SNP. Linear regression analyses were adjusted for age, gender, alcohol, high-fat diet, vegetable consumption, physical activity and the family history of obesity
