In the entire group, VAT was the strongest independent predictor of the MSyn components (Table 2 ) and also correlated significantly with ABD FCW ( r = 0.29, P < 0.01) and approached significance with GLT ( r = 0.17, P = 0.06) FCW; however, ABD FCW correlated less strongly than VAT with four components of the MSyn, and GLT FCW correlated with only two MSyn components after controlling for obesity and SAT (Table 2 ).
