Table 4. Pearson correlations of lean mass, fat mass, BF%, and BMI by age group.
Age group | n | Lean mass and BMI | Fat mass and BMI | BF% and BMI |
---|---|---|---|---|
20–39 y | 297 | 0.589* a | 0.696* a | 0.844* b |
40–59 y | 88 | 0.721* a | 0.783* a | 0.907* b |
≥ 60 y | 71 | 0.573* a | 0.707* a | 0.868* b |
Total | 456 | 0.589* a | 0.723* b | 0.874* c |
*Significantly correlated, P < 0.0001. Pearson correlation coefficients within each age group not sharing similar superscripts are significantly different, P < 0.05.
