(A) African-Americans; (B) Caucasians. Association of BMI with AT and SM volumes, expressed as ratios to height², in men (left) and women (right). Black symbols and whole lines denote AT, and grey symbols and dashed lines denote SM. [AT men: African American, y=-26.9+1.6x (R², 0.71, p<0.0001); Caucasian, y=−17.0+1.3x (R², 0.64, p<0.0001). AT women: African American, y=−19.8+1.5x+0.011x² (R², 0.84, p<0.0001); Caucasian, y=-25.8+1.9x+0.007x² (R², 0.92, p<0.0001)]

[SM men: African American, y=8.4+0.92x (R², 0.68, p<0.0001); Caucasian, y=8.3+0.83x (R², 0.58, p<0.0001). SM women: African American, y=10.0+0.55x (R², 0.56, p<0.0001); Caucasian, y=13.0+0.38x (R², 0.53, p<0.0001)].
