TABLE 5.

Multiple linear regression analysis to predict tri-ponderal mass index and body mass index from selected body composition variables.

Variables	Tri-ponderal index† – Coefficient‡	p	Body mass index† – Coefficient†	p
Weight (kg)	0.060	< 0.001	0.223	< 0.001
WHtR	46.741	< 0.001	42.552	< 0.001
WHpR	−14.421	< 0.001	−13.022	< 0.001
TSKF (mm)	0.054	0.493	0.038	0.587
SSKF (mm)	−0.089	0.275	−0.094	0.201
ΣSKF	−0.031	0.684	−0.014	0.833

ΣSKF, sum of skinfolds; SSKF, subscapular skinfolds; TSKF, triceps skinfold; WHpR, waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR, waist-to-height ratio.

^†, R² =0.647; adjusted R² =0.646; p < 0.05.

^‡, R² =0.851; adjusted R² = 0.850; p < 0.05.
