Relationships between Obesity, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Cardiovascular Function

Correlations between measures of fitness and arterial compliance for the total group, obese group, and lean group, and the partial correlation for the total group adjusted for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), age, total cholesterol (total chol), fasting glucose, and body mass index (BMI).
