Correlation between body composition indices and sex hormones. (a–e) Δ-testosterone was correlated with Δ-lean body mass, Δ-skeletal muscle mass, Δ-percentage of body fat, Δ-percentage of abdominal fat and, Δ-waist circumference. (f, g) Δ-SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) was correlated with Δ-percentage of body fat and Δ-percentage of abdominal fat. (h) A significant correlation was observed between Δ-DHEA-S (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) and Δ-lean body mass. Correlation analysis was performed (Pearson’s correlation coefficients). Each circle represents an individual subject (n = 24).
