  1. Linear regression models fitted with interaction between the specific adiposity measure and gender. Adjusted for age, atopy, tobacco use (pack years). Est, beta-estimate; Se, standard error for Est; p, p-value; p-i, p-value for difference (interaction) between males and females; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; FatP, fat percentage.
