%BF is related to MSNA in both males (r = 0.55, P = 0.04) and females (r = 0.63, P = 0.02).
Practitioners should consider %BF as a relevant factor in assessing MSNA in both genders.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Regression analyses revealed positive correlations between MSNA and %BF in males (r = 0.55, P = 0.04) and in females (r = 0.63, P = 0.02).
Why this rating
Based on regression analyses in a controlled study.
