Intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) predicted from sex, age, weight2, total adipose tissue (TAT), and TAT-by-race interaction, shown in relation to TAT (kg) in African American ([unk]; n = 118), Asian (*; n = 51), and white (△; n = 169) women and men. Linear regression lines are shown for African Americans (- - -), Asians ([unk]), and whites (—). All slopes were significantly different from zero (P < 0.05). All intercepts were significantly different from zero (P < 0.001). The overall SEE = 0.366 kg, as described in the text. African Americans: IMAT =−0.414 + 0.187 (male) + 0.008 (age) + 0.059 (TAT) − 0.00006 (weight2). Asians: IMAT =−0.148 + 0.187 (male) + 0.008 (age) + 0.044 (TAT) − 0.00006 (weight2). Whites: IMAT =−0.306 + 0.187 (male) + 0.008 (age) + 0.047 (TAT) − 0.00006 (weight2).
