Table 1 Mean BMI Z-Scores in specific age groups. BMI was significantly higher in carriers of the rs113883650 variant at ages one, two and three years. At ages four to seven years, the difference remained detectable but did not reach statistical significance.
Age group | BMI Z-Scores in noncarriers | BMI Z-Scores in carriers of the rs113883650 variant of the SLC7A5 gene | Statistical significance |
|---|---|---|---|
1 year | 0.52 | 0.9 | t(171) = 2.26, p = 0.02 |
2 years | 0.11 | 0.59 | t(122) = 2.6, p = 0.01 |
3 years | 0.42 | 0.96 | t(122) = 2.14, p = 0.03 |
4 years | 0.58 | 0.86 | t(119) = 1.17, p = 0.2 |
5 years | 0.59 | 0.91 | t(93) = 1.29, p = 0.1 |
6 years | 0.83 | 0.95 | t(95) = 0.38, p = 0.7 |
7 years | 0.71 | 0.81 | t(79) = 0.58, p = 0.5 |
