Independent contributions (standardized beta coefficients) of anthropometric and body composition variables to liver-to-spleen ratio, adjusted for age and BMI.

	Liver-to-spleen ratio	Percentage of variance explained** (%)
WC, cm	−0.229	7.7#
HC, cm	0.125	7.0#
WHR	−0.145	7.9#
SD, cm	−0.383*	10.1#
TFM, kg	−0.221	7.4#
TBFM, kg	−0.111	6.5#
TBLM, kg	−0.077	6.7#

All variables were entered in the regression models as continuous variables. Age did not present any independent association with the anthropometric studied variables.

** Variance explained by age, BMI, and the studied variable.

^# Independent associations of BMI, P < 0.01.
