kg kilograms, min minimum value, max maximum value, SD standard deviation, ρC Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient, CI confidence interval, r Spearman coefficient correlation between predicted and observed fat mass, Cb bias correlation factor, LoA Bland and Altman’s limit of agreement

a

Differences between the predicted and observed values of fat mass were assessed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.

b

Concordance is the product of r and Cb that measures how far the best fit regression between the predicted and observed values deviates from the identity regression (the 45 line, intercept = 0, slope = 1).

c

Based on the Bland and Altman’s limits of agreement procedure (1986), with 0 indicating perfect mean agreement between the mean difference and pair-wise means for predicted and observed values
