| High-density lipoprotein (mmol/L) | rho = 0.25; p = 0.257 | rho = 0.45; p = 0.052 |
| Low-density lipoprotein (mmol/L) | rho = –0.35; p = 0.111 | rho = –0.21; p = 0.401 |
| Triglycerides (mmol/L) | rho = 0.12; p = 0.600 | rho = 0.18; p = 0.470 |
| Absolute fat tissue (kg) | rho = 0.24; p = 0.285 | rho = –0.46; p = 0.031 |
| Relative fat tissue (%) | rho = 0.18; p = 0.418 | rho = –0.32; p = 0.147 |
