Body mass index, waist and arm circumference at diagnosis and in relation with median Phe levels in mild hyperphenylalaninaemia and phenylketonuria. The X-axis indicates the comparison between normal and overweight-obese groups in our population. The Y-axis indicates the number of patients. a Body mass index Z-score, b) Waist circumference and c) Arm circumference were measured at diagnosis in patients with mild hyperphenylalaninaemia (
) and phenylketonuria (
). d Body mass index Z-score, e) Waist circumference and f) Arm circumference in relation with median Phe levels (μmol/L) in patients with poor (
) and good (
) metabolic control. Statistical significance was observed: * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01, using the Fisher’s exact test and the Benjamini-Hochberg correction. PKU: phenylketonuria; MHPA: mild hyperphenylalaninaemia; BMI: body max index; Phe: phenylalanine
