Comparisons of Approaches with and without Latent Variables to Study the Effect of Baseline Fat Mass Measurements on CRS Change
| Fat mass measurement | Regression coefficient of CRS change on baseline measurements * | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Males | Females | ||
| Manifest | Percent Body Fat | 0.45 (0.17) | 0.40 (0.13) |
| Body Mass Index | 26.3 (8.1) | 18.2 (5.2) | |
| Skinfold Thickness | 8.1 (2.5) | 7.0 (2.1) | |
| Waist Circumference | 25.1 (9.6) | 16.3 (6.6) | |
| Latent variable | Adiposity | 0.58 (0.18) | 0.44 (0.13) |
