Path analysis diagram with standardized estimates illustrating the total effects of CARTPT rs2239670 polymorphism, diet, socio-demographic and psychological parameters on lipid profile among adults with obesity. Abbreviations: CART, cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript; GI, glycemic index; GL, glycemic load; SES, socio-economic status; PA, Physical activity; Appe, appetite; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TG, triglyceride; Chol, cholesterol.*All path coefficients are standardized. Red arrows mean p.value ≤0.05. £Total effect is defined as the sum of direct and indirect effects.
