Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the association of the UCP2 gene, alone or in combination with the PPARgamma2 gene, with obesity. DESIGN: Cross-sectional, case-control study. STUDY POPULATION: From a working population of 4500 Italian Caucasian employees of the Italian telephone company participating in a firm-sponsored health screening programme, we selected all those with obesity [n = 122; body mass index (BMI) > or = 30...
