Genetic variation in the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) in association with food preferences in healthy adults.

The results were similar in men and women except for a significant interaction ( p =0.003) for soft drinks; the trend was in the same direction, but stronger in women ( Supplementary Table 2 ). Food preferences across the FTO genotypes in strata of BMI When we stratified for BMI, the trends across the FTO genotypes were similar except for the consumption of juice ( p -interaction=0.04), which indicated a nominally significant increased intake for the A-allele carriers among overweight individuals but not among the normal weight individuals ( Table 3 ).
