  1. GAGS score was correlated with weight, waist circumference, BMI, Xc, PhA, ECW ECW/ICW, and FM. Weight and ECW were logarithmically normalized and transformed and back transformed for presentation in table. Correlations between variables were performed using Pearson r correlation coefficients
  2. BMI body mass index, R resistance, Xc reactance, PhA phase angle, TBW total body water, ICW intra-cellular water, ECW extra-cellular water, FM fat mass, FFM free fat mass, BCM body cell mass
  3. *A p value in bold type denotes a significant difference (p < 0.05)
