Pearson correlation coefficients and significance were calculated from within group and time points in the Physique athletes (n = 42) and FINRISK participants (n = 58). Total fat mass was used as a reference measure (as in indicated by “Ref” in the table) to which other anthropometric measures, exercise levels, and dietary information was compared.
