Relationships among muscles (area or density): PMA and RAMA (a), PMA and ESMA (b), RAMA and ESMA (c), PMD and RAMD (d), PMD and ESMD (e), and RAMD and ESMD (f). In these comparisons, both areas and densities showed good correlations between the pectoralis and rectus abdominis muscles (a, d). PMA pectoralis muscle area, PMD pectoralis muscle density, RAMA rectus abdominis muscle area, RAMD rectus abdominis muscle density, ESMA erector spinae muscle area, ESMD erector spinae muscle density
