Hi folks:

Correction: Please edit the poor wording in the previous post as

follows. Delete: " (after controlling for BF%, which may be tricky to

do because they are fairly well correlated with each other) " , and

replace with:

" (after controlling for body fat, which may be tricky to do because

body fat and LBM are fairly well correlated with each other) "

[While body fat and LBM each measured in pounds appear to be quite

well, directly, correlated, presumably BF% is perfectly inversely

correlated with LBM%!!!!]
