Indexes of brown adipose tissue volume and duration of cold exposure.
| Parameters | 1 h | 2 h | 3 h | 4 h | 5 h |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change in core temperature (°C) | r = 0.34 | r = 0.37 | r = 0.63 | r = 0.67 | r = 0.79 |
| p = 0.24 | p = 0.20 | p = 0.016 | p = 0.012 | p = 0.001 | |
| Change in supraclavicular skin temperature (°C) | r = 0.42 | r = 0.42 | r = 0.45 | r = 0.56 | r = 0.584 |
| p = 0.1 | p = 0.1 | p = 0.1 | p = 0.019 | p = 0.014 |
BAT volume was transformed to log10[BAT volume (ml) +1]. The correlation coefficients were calculated using Pearson's r. The bold values indicate statistically significant correlations.
