Correlations are reported as Pearson correlation coefficient. p < 0.05 are highlighted in bold. TAT, Total Fat Area; VAT, Visceral Fat Area; SAT, Subcutaneous Fat Area; EFT, Epicardial Fat Thickness; LSS, Lung Severity Score. CRP, C Reactive Protein; LDH, Lactate Dehydrogenase.

^§Denotes a Ln transformed variable to achieve normal distribution (Lymphocytes and EFT: Mean ± SD = 0.0316 ± 0.2229; 1.8605 ± 0.41905, respectively).
