TBFM = total body fat mass, TSMM = total body skeletal muscle mass, TBBMD = total body bone mineral density, TBBMC = total body bone mineral content, SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, HDL = high density lipoprotein, LDL = low density lipoprotein, FBS = fasting blood sugar, TC = Total cholesterol, TG = Triglycerides CVDR = cardiovascular disease risk, FRS = Framingham Risk Score
Adjusted partial correlations are significant at < 0.05* and < 0.01** levels
Other variables did not have significant correlations (p > 0.05)
