Body mass index: BMI = body mass/(height)2; body volume index: BV = height body mass; WC = waist circumference; CC = chest circumference; variant 1 of exposure: the axe of volunteer's body 60 cm away from the antenna; variant 2 of exposure: the axe of volunteer's body 110 cm away from the antenna; a: the volunteers used unified shoes; b: the volunteers used their own (regular) shoes; c: the volunteers were barefooted; strong, statistically significant correlations (|r| > 0.7, p < 0.001) are in bold; r-Pearson correlation coefficients and significance level p.
