(constant) | −7.42 | −14.45, −0.39 | 0.039 |
Age | 2.00 | 1.57, 2.44 | <0.001 |

Values are coefficients and P values from a multiple regression model of FFM (kg) as a function of age (y), FM (kg), and PAL, in females (n = 84, R2 = 0.85) and males (n = 78, R2 = 0.76). FFM, fat-free mass; FM, fat mass; PAL, physical activity level.
