Correlations of SMMI, FMI, and ECW/TBW of control and CRC patients. Female: (a) SMMI, (b) FMI, and (c) ECW/TBW. Male: (d) SMMI, (e) FMI, and (f) ECW/TBW. (a) Female cancer vs. control. PA vs. SMMI. Correlation—control: r = 0.63591, cancer: r = 0.39679. (b) Female cancer vs. control. PA vs. FMI. Control: r = −0.0307, cancer: r = −0.1473. (c) Female cancer vs. control. PA vs. ECW/TBW. Control: r = −0.9173, cancer: r = −0.6635. (d) Male cancer vs. control. PA vs. SMMI. Correlation—control: r = 0.6117, cancer: r = 0.1553. (e) Male cancer vs. control. PA vs. FMI. Correlation—control: r = 0.03910, cancer: r = −0.0694. (f) Male cancer vs. control. PA vs. ECW/TBW. Correlation—control: r = −0.919, cancer: r = −0.079.
