Distribution of Abdominal Obesity and Fitness Level in Overweight and Obese Korean Adults
Figure 1
Relationship between fitness level (recovery heart rate) and abdominal adiposity (VAT, SAT, and the VAT/SAT ratio). VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT/SAT ratio, visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio; : Pearson’s partial correlation coefficient (: no linear relationship, or −1: perfect linear relationship). -axes are based on calculated residuals from regressing fitness level (recovery heart rate) on age and sex (a, b, and c) and for age, sex, and BMI (d, e, and f). -axes are based on calculated residuals from regressing abdominal adiposity (VAT, SAT, and the VAT/SAT ratio) on age and sex (a, b, and c) and for age, sex, and BMI (d, e, and f).
