Fig 2 Percentage of total body fat mass (total body fat mass%) in relation to the BMI for (A) men and (B) women with polio and able-bodied controls. Regression lines are shown. Shadows mark the areas where obese people (total body fat mass% >28% in men and >40% in women)15,16 had BMI values <25.0kg/m2. All but 1 subject with polio were obese. Of these, 6 (37.5%) had BMIs in the shaded area.

Fig 3 Percentage of total body fat mass and total LBM in relation to the BMI for subjects with polio and able-bodied controls. Regression lines are shown. (For polio subjects, the total body fat mass% = .012 × BMI + .132, the total LBM% = −.010 × BMI + .788; for able-bodied controls, the total body fat mass% = .008 × BMI + .090, the total LBM% = −.007 × BMI + .836). Polio subjects had a greater total body fat mass% but a lower total LBM% compared with able-bodied controls with corresponding BMI.

Fig 4 Relative differences in the body fat mass (dark bar) and LBM (gray bar) in the total body and various regions of the body. Compared with able-bodied controls, subjects with polio had a significantly greater body fat mass in all regions of the body, and a lower LBM in the total body and the regions of the abdomen and legs. The relative difference in body fat mass = (BFM of polio subject − body fat mass of the matched control) ÷ body fat mass of the matched control. The relative difference in LBM was calculated in the same manner. Error bars show the 95% confidence intervals. *P<.05; **P<.01; §P<.005; §§P<.001 (difference with zero, Student t test).
