Figure 3 MVO₂ Versus BMI in Men and Women

These graphs show how MVO₂, quantified using positron emission tomography, relates to increasing BMI in men and in women. The correlation between MVO₂ and BMI was only significant in the women. However, r values for the correlations in men and women were not statistically different. BMI = body mass index; MVO₂ = oxygen consumption.
