Figure 2.

Twelve scatterplots showing associations between three vascular markers (central pulse pressure, augmentation index, and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity) and four body composition measures: visceral fat, total body fat percentage, fat mass index, and fat-free mass index. Correlation coefficients (r or ρ) and p-values are noted for each relationship, with stronger and significant positive correlations observed for visceral fat, total body fat, and fat mass index across vascular markers. Fat-free mass index shows weak and nonsignificant associations. Each panel is color-coded by body composition type.

Scatterplots depicting the bivariate relationships between BIA measurements (visceral fat, total body fat, fat mass index, and fatfree mass index) and indicators for arterial stiffness (augmentation index, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, and central pulse pressure). Correlation coefficients are reported as Pearson's r or Spearman's ρ.
