Bone marrow fat (BMF) was characterized by the cross-sectional area in the fibula bone and subcutaneous fat (SF) was measured by the thickness of SF (SFT) in the periphery of calf muscle. It is found that SFT and BMF are statistically significantly correlated to BMI and age, respectively, in women (n = 43), but not in men (n = 59). For a subgroup of subjects with thinner SFT (<15 mm, n = 87), SFT is negatively correlated to BMF.
