Variance explained in abdominal subcutaneous fat mass and intra-abdominal fat mass by body mass index, waist circumference and their combination in each of the pooled samples.

Abbreviations: ASFM, abdominal subcutaneous fat mass. BMI, body mass index- IAFM, intra-abdominal fat mass. R2, adjusted squared multiple correlation coefficients. WC, waist circumference. *Regression models adjusted for study center, sex, age, type 2 diabetes status. #Intra-abdominal fat mass = intra-peritoneal fat mass+retroperitoneal fat mass. ¤Intra-abdominal fat mass = intra-peritoneal fat mass. ∥Intra-abdominal fat mass = intra-peritoneal fat mass+retroperitoneal fat mass in Canada and intra-peritoneal mass in Helsinki and Turku. p<0.05 for WC and BMI in all models, except for BMI in † where p>0.05.
