Age-adjusted partial correlation coefficient among anthropometric measures in Palestinian adults: findings of the first national health and nutrition survey (FNHANS) 1999-2000.

	Females (𝑛=1653)		Males (𝑛=1725)
	Weight	BMI	Waist	Hip	WHR
Weight	—	.872**	.669**	.577**	.282**
Body Mass Index (BMI)	.908**	—	.654**	.548**	.292**
Waist Circumference (WC)	.734**	.729**	—	.795**	.502**
Hip Circumference (HC)	.719**	.715**	.800**	—	-.096-**
Waist/Hip ratio (WHR)	.195**	.194**	.461**	-.108-**	—

All coefficients significantly different to zero (𝑃<0.05). **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). WC: waist circumference in cm, HC: hip circumference in cm, BMI: body mass index in kg/m², and WHR (Waist-to- Hip Ratio).
