Adiposity Measurements by BMI, Skinfolds and Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in relation to Risk Markers for Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes in Adult Males

Table 5

Partial correlation coefficients between risk marker measures and paired DXA measures (𝑛=156). Three correlation analyses were explored: Analysis 1: risk factor versus DXA total, DXA android, age, smoking, alcohol intake and exercise habit.Analysis 2: risk factor versus DXA total, DXA gynoid, age, smoking, alcohol intake and exercise habit.Analysis 3: risk factor versus DXA android, DXA gynoid, age, smoking, alcohol intake and exercise habit.
