Values are Pearson correlation coefficients and (p value). Top values are unadjusted correlations, bottom values are correlations adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity and baseline value of the response traits.

Multiple testing corrected threshold for statistical significance p<0.007.

Signficant values are shown in italics.

%fat, per cent body fat; f-insulin, fasting plasma insulin; f-insulin, fasting plasma insulin; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-P, low-density lipoprotein particle; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; VO2, maximal oxygen uptake.
