Table 4 Summary of Kruskal-Wallis test results for anthropometric indices across ancestry-informative marker (AIM) groups and national populations, separately for females and males.
From: Genetic ancestry influences body shape and obesity risk in Latin American populations
Comparison | H Value | p-value | Significance | Findings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
AIM groups (Females) | 9.66 | 0.008 | Significant | Body shape variation is influenced by genetic ancestry in females with highly informative AIM classifications. |
AIM groups (Males) | 8.88 | 0.012 | Significant | Differences were observed among male AIM groups, supporting the hypothesis of ancestry-driven variation. |
Countries (Females) | 7.32 | 0.292 | Not significant | No significant variation in body shape among national populations in females. |
Countries (Males) | 4.97 | 0.420 | Not significant | No significant variation in body shape among national populations in males. |
