From: Evidence for the association between FTO gene variants and vitamin B12 concentrations in an Asian Indian population

  1. Values are given as mean ± standard deviation
  2. P values for differences between 0 and 1 risk alleles were obtained using linear regression model adjusted age, BMI, type 2 diabetes status, type 2 diabetes medication, and sex
  3. †P values were obtained by using a general linear model adjusted for age, type 2 diabetes status, type 2 diabetes medication, and sex
  4. *P values were adjusted for age, sex, and type 2 diabetes status using binary logistic regression
  5. Abbreviations: BMI body mass index; WC waist circumference; WHR waist to hip ratio
