VAT: visceral adipose tissue; SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT/SAT ratio: visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio; RHR: recovery heart rate; BMI: body mass index; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; hsCRP: highly sensitive C-reactive protein.
^a,b,c𝑃 values are calculated by stepwise method multiple linear regression analyses.
^aModel variables included age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol, physical activity status, mean BP, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, lipid profiles (LDL, HDL, and triglyceride), hsCRP, and SAT.
^bModel variables included age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol, physical activity status, mean BP, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, lipid profiles (LDL, HDL, and triglyceride), hsCRP, and VAT.
^cModel variables included age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol, physical activity status, mean BP, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, lipid profiles (LDL, HDL, and triglyceride), and hsCRP.
^d𝑃 values are calculated by enter-method multiple linear regression analyses; variables included age, sex, BMI, HDL, and hsCRP.
