Correlations between log₁₀-transformed steroid data and morphological, physiological, and metabolic variables

	Pearson correlation coefficients

Body fat percentage	−0.175	−0.375	−0.084	0.081	−0.536	−0.202	0.033
Fat mass	−0.293	−0.332	−0.028	0.037	−0.580	−0.146	−0.012
Lean body mass	0.224	0.203	0.206	−0.081	−0.063	0.225	−0.081
Insulin sensitivity	0.502	0.282	0.033	0.377	0.470	0.367	0.442

Total abdominal fat	0.152	−0.090	−0.084	0.188	−0.007	0.027	−0.027
Visceral abdominal fat	0.340	−0.110	−0.155	0.003	0.128	−0.190	−0.111
Subcutaneous abdominal fat	0.040	−0.065	−0.034	0.251	−0.074	0.132	0.023
Visceral/sc ratio	0.224	0.044	−0.030	−0.246	0.181	−0.311	−0.134
Thigh muscle area	0.029	0.163	0.007	−0.441	0.316	−0.157	−0.210

All data are n = 29, with the exception of correlations for DHT (n = 24), ADT-G (n = 26), and thigh muscle area (n = 28). Data are missing for hormone levels because levels were below the limit of detection of the assay and for thigh muscle area because of technical problems with completing the thigh scan on one patient.
