Figure 2 Relationships between WHtR, SMM/W, and ln HOMA-IRScatter plots show the correlations of (A) WHtR and (B) SMM/W with ln HOMA-IR. Solid lines represent linear regression fits, with shaded bands indicating 95% confidence intervals. Pearson correlation coefficients (R) and corresponding P values are shown for each association. SMM/W – skeletal muscle mass adjusted by weight; WHtR – waist-to-height ratio; HOMA-IR – homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.
