FFST indicates fat-free soft tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SAAT, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue; PA, physical activity; CV, cardiovascular.
Statistical analysis was conducted by using Pearson’s bivariate correlation.
Statistical analysis was conducted by using partial correlation, adjusted for age, sex, race, sexual maturation, height, and season, for relationships between loge plasma 25(OH)D and adiposity outcomes, physical activity variables, and CV fitness in this sample (N = 559).
Logarithmic transformation performed before analysis.
