Correlation matrix of Group I study measures. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; Csum, sum of the 5 circumferences; SAT, VAT, TB-AT are subcutaneous, visceral, and total body adipose tissue volume; SM, skeletal muscle volume; W/H, weight to height ratio. N = 231 males and 263 females. All correlations r ≥ 0.20 are statistically significant at p < 0.05. Males comprise the lower half and females the upper half of the table as defined by the diagonal line. Shading represents grouping of measurement types (circumferences, body composition, and weight-stature).
