Fig. 4. Prevalence of
3% loss (black bars), stable (gray bars) or
3% gain (open bars) of FFM (top) and BF (bottom) according to 8-yr change in weight (loss >3%, stable, gain >3%). n = number of subjects. Differences (
2) between FFM-losing, stable and gaining subjects were significant in men <45 yr,
2 34.7, degrees of freedom, 4; p < 0.001; women <45 yr,
2 11.2, degrees of freedom, 4; p = 0.02; and between BF-losing, stable and gaining subjects were significant in men <45 yr,
2 22.5, degrees of freedom, 4; p < 0.001; women <45 yr,
2 19.9, degrees of freedom, 4; p < 0.001; women
45 yr,
2 15.8, degrees of freedom, 4; p = 0.003.
