Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: We investigated cross-sectionally and longitudinally the relationship between FTO rs9939609 and obesity-related characteristics in the European children of the IDEFICS project and the interaction of this variant with a lifestyle intervention. POPULATION AND METHODS: A cohort of 16224 children (2-9 years) was recruited into a population-based survey (T0) from eight European countries. A second survey...
