Table 4 Circulating BCAAs by classified and continuous mode of GRSa

From: Interaction between dietary branched-chain amino acids and genetic risk score on the risk of type 2 diabetes in Chinese

  1. The general linear model was used for estimation of mean (SD) for circulating BCAAs and linear regression model for β coefficient (SE)
  2. BCAAs branched-chain amino acids, GRS genetic risk score, T2D type 2 diabetes
  3. aResults were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, current drinkers, current smokers, exercise regularly, family history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, red meat intake, and total energy intake.
  4. bComparing to the lowest GRS group, P < 0.05.
