Table 5. Partial rank correlation of supraclavicular PDFF to CIT controlled by possible confounders.
| Controlled by | Correlation of supraclavicular PDFF (%) and CIT (%) |
|---|---|
| Sex | rho =−0.18; P=0.275 |
| BMI | rho =−0.11; P=0.533 |
| BF% | rho =−0.20; P=0.240 |
| Gluteal PDFF | rho =−0.34; P=0.037 |
BF%, body fat percentage; BMI, body mass index; CIT, cold induced thermogenesis; PDFF, proton density fat fraction.
