Notes: PCA= principal component analysis; MLR1 = multiple linear regression with 10 variables; MLR2 = multiple linear regression with 7 variables; KDM1 = Klemera and Doubal method with 10 variables; and KDM2 = Klemera and Doubal method with 7 variables.

In each model, BA is calculated by either PCA, MLR1 with 10 variables, MLR2 with 7 variables, KDM1 with 10 variables, or KDM2 with 7 variables.

All models are controlled for sex.
