The association between the &lt;i&gt;FTO&lt;/i&gt; polymorphism with BMI as continuous and categorical (normal BMI [&amp;#x3c; 25] vs. overweight/obese [&amp;#x3e; 25]) variables was analyzed using both linear and logistic regression models, respectively, with the assumption of both dominant and additive genetic models performed using the SNPassoc package from &lt;i&gt;R&lt;/i&gt; statistics. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The A allele was associated with increased BMI (β = 1.21; 95% CI = 0.16–2.26; &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; = 0.023). In concordance, the categorical BMI (normal vs. overweight/obese) also showed a significant association between the A allele and overweight/obesity (OR = 1.47; 95% CI = 1.01–2.12; &lt;i&gt;p =&lt;/i&gt; 0.041). However, no association between the &lt;i&gt;FTO&lt;/i&gt; variant was observed with cardiometabolic traits. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; We observed an association between the common &lt;i&gt;FTO&lt;/i&gt; rs9939609 polymorphism and increased BMI (overweight/obesity) in Kuwaiti adults, which is consistent with previous research in other populations. Our findings encourage further investigation of genetic variants to elucidate the mechanisms involved in the development of obesity in such an obesogenic population.</jats:p> Association of <b><i>FTO</i></b> rs9939609 with Obesity in the Kuwaiti Population: A Public Health Concern?
