All values are mean ± SDs. Subjects were stratified into tertiles (low, medium and high) based upon body composition measurements.
Female - Body Fat % (Low 27.7±2.4, Medium 35.7±2.3, High 44.4±3.6); Trunk Fat % (Low 28.3±3.6, Medium 38.0±2.3, High 46.9±3.6); waist circumference (Low 77.2±5.5 cm, Medium 89.7±3.3 cm, High 107.5±10.1 cm).
Male - Body Fat % (Low 86.2±7.6, Medium 95.8±6.9, High 108.3±13.9); Trunk Fat % (Low 85.9±7.6, Medium 96.2±7.8, High 108.39±13.5); waist circumference (Low 83.9±6.1 cm, Medium 95.8±2.3 cm, High 110.9±11.3 cm).
P = Differences between sexes and among body composition tertiles were assessed with ANCOVA controlling for age.
P* = Differences between sexes and among body composition tertiles were assessed with ANCOVA controlling for age, gender, smoking, medication use, and menopause.
Statistical significance level was set to p<0.05.
