Pictorial representation of the major determinants of body mass in healthy men (M) and women (W) participants of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [4]. Adiposity (fat mass) was evaluated using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. R2 values for linear correlations between body mass and each of the three determinants are shown in the figure along with the composite correlations for the determinants derived by multiple regression analysis.
