Adjusted correlations were calculated using the residuals of various models in which PBF_DXA and other characteristics were regressed on sex and age. All adjusted correlations, with the exception of those with height (final column), are statistically significant at the 0.001 level (H₀: r = 0).

p< 0.01 for difference in the magnitude of the specified correlation with PBF_DXA vs. the correlation with BAI. P-value assesses whether the correlation between PBF_DXA and BAI is equal to the correlation between PBF_DXA and BMI, hip circumference, or waist circumference. The null hypothesis is that the correlation between PBF_DXA and BAI is equal to the correlation of PBF_DXA with each of the other characteristics.
