Correlations between a continuous variable [packed cell volume, haemoglobin, total plasma protein, scaled mass, and log(H/L ratio)] and either muscle score or fat score are polyserial correlations, the correlation between muscle score and fat score is a polychoral correlation, and neither are tested for significance.
