- Data are mean ± SD
- Methylation cohort represents a subcohort of the gene expression cohort; no statistical significance for phenotype data between the gene expression and methylation cohorts was found
- BMI body mass index = weight (kg)/height (m)2
- aSignificant difference (p < 0.05) between lean and obese groups
