Correlation between the slopes of risk factors. (A) Significant positive correlation between change in BMI and change in Triglycerides, largely driven by individuals whose BMI drops (negative slope) also showing reduced triglycerides; (B) Significant negative correlation between slope of sub-endocardial vascular risk ratio (SEVR) and slope of BMI, again indicating improved cardiovascular health in individuals whose BMI decreases overall. p-Values for Pearson correlations are indicated on the figure, corresponding Spearman rank correlations are (A) 0.15 (p = 3.6 × 10⁻³) and (B) −0.19 (p = 2.8 × 10⁻⁴).
