Figure 2

Association of central obesity with TFI is independent of age. Results for SAFHS participants are shown on the blue background on left while those for the NHANES 2007–10 participants are shown on pink background on right. (A-B) Estimated regression coefficients (β) for age (purple circles) and central obesity (green diamonds) in a single polygenic model for each cutoff of age. In these analyses age was dichotomized at the cutoffs shown on the abscissa and polygenic regression was run at each cutoff. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals around the regression coefficient. (C-D) Analyses similar to those in (A-B) but additionally accounting for presence of type 2 diabetes.
