Results represent mean ± SEM. For VAT area, results are expressed as median ± IQR. Arm, trunk, leg, android, and gynoid fat mass are expressed as percentages of total fat mass. Unadjusted values are tested for significance of the time. VAT, visceral adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue.
