Influence of Weight Loss, Body Composition, and Lifestyle Behaviors on Plasma Adipokines: A Randomized Weight Loss Trial in Older Men and Women with Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Table 5
Spearman correlations at baseline and 6 months for women between adipokines and body fat %, trunk fat, step counts, dietary intake, and peak METS from GXT (baseline only). Data are presented as rho correlation coefficient ( value).
