R2 includes only the shared variance between the metabolic measure and the anthropometric variable. Variance from the covariates is not included. Model 1: includes no covariates. Model 2: adjusted for age and race. Model 3: adjusted for age, race, and the remaining two anthropometric variables. For example, Model 3 for OGTT and SAD adjusts for age, race, waist circumference, and BMI. a,b,cR2 values on the same row with the same superscript letter do not differ significantly ().
