Figure 1 Relation between the natural log (ln) of insulin sensitivity and CT scan measurements of abdominal fat. The r value represents Pearson’s correlation coefficient between insulin sensitivity and measures of IAF, SQF, and sagittal diameter, with the associated level of significance (P value). All fat compartments were related to insulin sensitivity. Sites. Regional fat distribution. Fertil Steril 2000. Fertility and Sterility 2000 73, 61-65DOI: (10.1016/S0015-0282(99)00453-7)
Figure 2 Relation between the natural log (ln) of insulin sensitivity and dual-photon x-ray absorptiometry scan measurements. The r value represents Pearson’s correlation coefficient between insulin sensitivity and measures of body composition, with the associated level of significance (P value). Neither total fat nor percent body fat was related to insulin sensitivity. Sites. Regional fat distribution. Fertil Steril 2000.
