Group | Mean Difference (95% CI) | Correlation | ICC (95% CI) |
---|---|---|---|

Overall | 0.001 (−0.018, 0.019) | 0.88, p < 0.0001 | 0.87 (0.68, 0.95) |
Lean | 0.010 (−0.018, 0.039) | 0.93, p = 0.001 | 0.92 (0.72, 0.98) |
Obese | −0.009 (−0.038, 0.021) | 0.67, p = 0.07 | 0.67 (0.09, 0.91) |
Visceral | |||
Overall | −0.065 (−0.15, 0.021) | 0.60, p = 0.01 | 0.56 (0.13, 0.81) |
Lean | −0.028 (−0.158, 0.102) | 0.56, p = 0.15 | 0.59 (−0.04, 0.88) |
