Unstandardized β, R2, and P values are from multiple linear regression analyses (n = 102). Model 1: adjusted for the date when the PET/CT scan was performed. Model 2: adjusted as for Model 1 plus sex. Model 3: adjusted as for Model 2 plus fat mass and lean mass. All muscles: paracervical, sternocleidomastoid, scalene, longus colli, trapezius, parathoracic, supraspinatus, subscapular, deltoid, pectoralis major, and triceps brachii. Deep muscles: paracervical, scalene, longus colli, parathoracic, and subscapular. Cervical muscles: paracervical, sternocleidomastoid, scalene, and longus colli. Cold-sensitive muscles: sternocleidomastoid, scalene, longus colli, and pectoralis major. BAT, brown adipose tissue; SUV, standardized uptake value.
