Table 3. Pearson coefficients (R-value) for correlations between mean FSFs and descriptive body parameters (age, height, weight-, waist-, hip-, abdominal-girth measurements, WHR, BMI, BIA) and Spearman coefficients (R-value) for correlations between mean FSFs and age group.

Italics indicate statistical significance. P-values < 0.05 (before Bonferroni correction, correction by factor 5) were considered statistically significant.
