  1. **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)
  2. *. Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed)
  3. The strength of the positive correlation increases for results close to 1
  4. LBM: lean body mass; CMG: Cervical muscle gauge; Hb: Hemoglobin; SII: systemic inflammatory index; NLR: neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, PLR: platelet lymphocyte ratio
