Table 2 Pearson’s correlation coefficients in women with obesity.
| Variables | WC | WHR | WHtR | ln (HOMA-IR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMM/W | −0.47*** | −0.39*** | −0.55*** | −0.15* |
| ln (HOMA-IR) | 0.37*** | 0.22** | 0.34*** | – |
| WC – waist circumference; WHR – waist-hip ratio; WHtR – waist-height ratio; SMM/W – skeletal muscle mass adjusted by weight; ln HOMA-IR – the natural logarithm of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. * ** *** | ||||
