Table 1.
Characteristics according to FTO rs9939609 given as mean (S.D.) of the two study cohorts representing, respectively, a random sample of Danish male draftees and all obese male draftees.
Table 2.
Geometric mean (95% confidence intervals) of the inflammatory markers according to FTO rs9939609 genotype for the two cohorts combined.
Figure 1.
The association between BMI and hs-CRP according to FTO rs9939609 genotype.
FTO rs9939609 genotype had no main effect on hs-CRP when BMI was taken into account (see Table 3); further, this figure shows there was no interaction between BMI and FTO rs9939609 genotype in relation to hs-CRP (p = 0.62).
Figure 2.
The association between BMI and IL-6 according to FTO rs9939609 genotype.
FTO rs9939609 genotype had no main effect on hs-CRP neither in the crude analysis nor when BMI was taken into account (see Table 3); further, this figure shows there was no interaction between BMI and FTO rs9939609 genotype in relation to IL-6 (p = 0.82).
Figure 3.
The association between BMI and Leptin according to FTO rs9939609 genotype.
FTO rs9939609 genotype had no main effect on leptin when BMI was taken into account (see Table 3); further, this figure shows there was no interaction between BMI and FTO rs9939609 genotype in relation to leptin (p = 0.31).
