  1. A Subcutaneous fat thickness measured in millimetres aligned with the crest of the 3rd sacral vertebra by two independent groups, with P8MEAN the average between the two values
  2. B Correlation between CHILLP8 and P8FAT for the same method of data trimming
  3. C Correlation between P8MEAN to CHILLP8 and P8FAT respectively
  4. D For samples in common for the two univariate trimmed data sets
