Association between body fat composition measures and anthropometry by sex in MESA.

<p>Regression equation for body fat composition by anthropometry and sex: Ln body fat composition = β0₁ + β0₂(sex) + β1(X) + β2(X²) + β3(sex*X). Intercept = β0₁ + β0₂, Linear = β1 <b>+</b> β3, Quadratic = β2, P-value for difference by sex = p-value for β3. Centering: height—160cm, weight—50kg, BMI—20 kg/m², waist—100cm, hip—100cm, waist to hip—0.7, waist to height—0.4.</p><p>Association between body fat composition measures and anthropometry by sex in MESA.</p

Association Between Body Fat Composition Measures and Anthropometry by Race/Ethnicity in MESA.

<p>Regression equation for body fat composition by anthropometry and race/ethnicity: Ln body fat composition = β0₁ + β0₂(race) + β1(X) + β2(X²) + β3(race*X). Intercept = β0₁ + β0₂, Linear = β1 <b>+</b> β3, Quadratic = β2, P-value for difference by race = <i>P</i>-value for overall F-test.
