Figure 1

Panel A is a plot of the very robust inverse relationship between insulin sensitivity (quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index, QUICKI) and our measure of fitness (maximal oxygen uptake, VO2 max). Please note that the value for the strength of the association is a partial r (after adjusting for age and sex). The partial correlation coefficients (rps; accounting for age and sex) for the relationships between VO2 max and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (B) and QUICKI C), respectively are shown. Please note that for all scatter plots the gray triangles represent participants with lean body mass indices (BMIs), and the black circles represent participants with overweight and obese (O/O) BMIs.
