*GRS1 for leptin was generated by summing leptin increasing alleles of three SNPs adjusted for BMI, weighted by their corresponding effect sizes reported by Kilpelainen et al.
†Assessed by adding an interaction term, drinking×GRS along with the drinking variable to the age, sex, BMI and waist circumference adjusted model among the overall participants.
‡Adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking, drinking, BMI, waist circumference and physical activity among the overall sample.
§Assessed by adding an interaction term, drinking×GRS to the fully adjusted model among the overall participants.
BMI, body mass index; FHS, Framingham Heart Study; GRS, genetic risk score; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; log-TG, logarithmically transformed triglycerides; SE, standard error; SNPs, single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
