  1. a Strength of association intended for candidate genes studies and replication for GWASs
  2. b The study also examines candidate genes, but this item is not included in the total score
  3. c Some analyses included objective data on physical activity, but not those reported here
  4. d The study included a replication cohort, but this item is not included in the total score
