Data presented are correlation coefficient (rho, ) with associated values. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test. IFN-, interferon-gamma. IL-10, interleukin-10. Acrp30, adiponectin. MUAC, middle upper arm circumference. Values in bold indicate significant values.
