Interaction p-value: sex = 0.007 (fully adjusted); models were assessed using linear regression.
All participants: mean visceral adipose tissue = 976.1 cm2 (range = 97.0–3169.2 cm2); women: mean = 780.8 cm2 (range = 746.0–815.6 cm2); men: mean = 1173.3 cm2 (1128.7–1.217.9 cm2).
Adjusted for gender.
Demographics = race/ethnicity, marital status, income, education, study site; Inflammatory Markers = Interleukin-6, C-reactive protein; Health Behaviors = pack-years of smoking, number of alcohol drinks consumed per week, total intentional exercise; Co-morbidities = cancer, hypertension, diabetes.
Significant main effects p-value < 0.05.
