  1. TBW total body water, FM fat mass, PM protein mass, MC mineral mass, x independent variables, y dependent variables
  2. aAnalyzed using regression analysis. The unstandardized regression coefficient (b) with its standard error (SE) and the p value (p) are given for each association
  3. bAll models were adjusted for student’s age and ethnicity
