Spearman correlations between infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) volume changes and changes in body composition predictors. Sample sizes (n) vary based on predictor.
| n | Correlation | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body or thigh composition predictor | |||
| Weight change [kg] | 106 | 0.40 | <0.0001 |
| BMI change [kg/m2] | 106 | 0.39 | <0.0001 |
| DXA total fat mass change [kg] | 88 | 0.44 | <0.0001 |
| CT subcutaneous thigh fat change [cm3] | 82 | 0.32 | 0.0030 |
| CT inter-muscular thigh fat change [cm3] | 82 | 0.29 | 0.0074 |
BMI = body mass index; DXA = dual x-ray absorptiometry, CT = computed tomography
