Fig 2. Distribution of auxological data in SMA patients (BMI = body mass index, WC = waist circumference, HC = hip circumference, WHR waist-to-hip ratio, SDS = standard deviation score).
Vertical lines in bold (- 2 SD, + 2 SD) indicate the reference range. Boxes indicate the interquartile range (IQR), whiskers indicate 1.5xIQR, black dots are outliers. Asterisks indicate a significant deviation of the median from zero (p <0.01) with a shift towards higher values for WHR and leptin, as well as a shift to lower values for weight, height, BMI und HC.
