Right side (above diagonal) shows correlations of the raw values; left side (below diagonal) shows correlations of the z-scores relative to age-specific and sex-specific means.

ABSI, A Body Shape Index; BMI, body mass index; NA, not applicable; SFA, subcutaneous fat area; VFA, visceral fat area; WC, waist circumference.
