In model 1, there is only one independent variable that refers to either %TFM or %LFM. In model 2, independent variables include age/BMI/WC as well as %TFM or %LFM. SE stands for standard error of β. Three different superscripts denote various ranges of value of β: , , and . Cells where β is of statistical significance are highlighted with the bold font. Abbreviations for variables were the same as in Table 1.
