aAll P < 0.001. bBMI groups are determined by the WHO 2006 standard based on ADP measurements (20). ADP, air displacement plethysmography; BIA, bioelectrical impedance analysis; BMI, body mass index; FM, fat mass; FFM, fat-free mass; CCC, Lin's concordance correlation coefficient; LoA, limit of agreement.
