  1. SD: Standard deviation; GRS: Genetic risk score; BMI: Body mass index; WC: Waist circumference; BF: Body fat; SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic blood pressure; FBS: Fasting blood sugar; TG: Triglyceride; TC: Total cholesterol ; HDL: High density lipoprotein
  2. † Calculated by analysis of variance (ANOVA)
  3. b: Adjusted for age, BMI, physical activity, and total energy intake
  4. a: BMI is considered collinear and this variable is adjusted for Age, physical activity, and total energy intake
  5. P < 0.05 was considered significant
