Spearman's rho rank correlation test was used because most of the variables are not normally distributed. Significant levels: P* < 0.05, P** < 0.01, P*** < 0.001. Note: r = Spearman's rho rank correlation coefficient; BMI = body mass index; WHR = waist-to-hip ratio; BP = blood pressure; AR = adiponectin-resistin; NA = not applicable.
