*Sex controlled for in all correlations.

^† = Sex and homeostatic model assessment controlled for in all correlations. WC = waist circumference, BMI = body mass index, aFM = android fat mass, %fat = body fat percentage, VO₂max = maximal oxygen uptake, VO₂max_FFM = maximal oxygen uptake relative to the fat-free mass. See Table 1 for units.
