  1. Multivariate lineal regression was performed to examine the association of NC, BMI, WC, FM and FMI with Thigh IMAT and VAT indicators after not adjusting for any confounder (model 1) or adjusting for age (model 2). Standardized β coefficient, and P-value are provided. Statistically significant values are in bold: *P ≤ 0.01, **P ≤ 0.001. BMI: Body mass index, FM: Fat mass, FMI: Fat mass index, IMAT: Intermuscular adipose tissue, NC: Neck circumference, WC: waist circumference, VAT: visceral adipose tissue.
