Figure 1 Comparison of different anthropometric indices in relation to SMM/WScatter plots show the negative correlations between (A) WC (cm), (B) WHR, and (C) WHtR and SMM/W. Solid lines represent linear regression fits, with shaded areas indicating 95% confidence intervals. Pearson correlation coefficient (R) and corresponding P values are displayed for each association. SMM/W – skeletal muscle mass adjusted by weight; WC – waist circumference; WHR – waist-to-hip ratio; WHtR – waist-to-height ratio.
