Whilst both genotype groups showed greater BMI values in urban populations, the non-risk (AA) genotypes showed a highly significant increase BMI value in urban areas (Mean difference = 2.2 kgm −2 (95%CI 0.5–3.9), p < 0.01) whilst the risk genotypes (GG + AG) showed an increase which was marginally insignificant (BMI difference = 0.8 kgm −2 (95%CI − 0.1–1.7), p = 0.08).
