Correlation Matrix Constructed From Absolute Changes in the Cluster of Risk Factors that Comprise Metabolic Syndrome and From Changes in Body Composition and Fitness

SBP DBP TG HDL Glucose WC
Weight (kg) .10 .13 .10 .17 .29 .44*
Visceral fat (cm2) .52* .08 .13 .12 .54* .32
Subcutaneous fat (cm2) .01 .34 .29 .09 .09 .48
VO2max (L/min) .19 .18 .28 .47* .11 .02

Notes: DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; SBP = systolic blood pressure; TG = triglycerides; WC = waist circumference.

*

Significant correlation between body weight and waist circumference; visceral fat and systolic blood pressure; and fasting glucose, VO2max, and HDL (p < .05).

Significant correlation between subcutaneous fat and waist circumference (p < .01).
