| r | p * | p ** | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | wSMI | −0.318 | <0.001 | Ref. |
| hSMI | 0.192 | <0.001 | <0.001 | |

* p for r between wSMI/hSMI/bSMI and HOMA-IR. ** p indicates p values for comparison of absolute values of r using Steiger’s Z-test. Abbreviations: wSMI, weight-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index; hSMI, height-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index; bSMI, body mass index-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance.
