Comparison of BCS and weight as predictors of percentage body fat as influenced by sex, weight, and age among macaques with BCS ≥ 2.0

	Pearson correlation coefficient
	BCS and % body fat	Weight and % body fat
Male	0.91	0.84
Female	0.88	0.82
≤12 ya	0.86	0.59
>12 ya	0.81	0.47
≤9.2 kga	0.81	0.47
>9.2 kga	0.86	0.59

^at test comparing the 2 Pearson coefficients yielded P < 0.05.
