BMI, body mass index; GT, greater trochanter; NoF, neck of femur.
Refer to text for descriptions of A–D. As the measures of adiposity and pelvic width at the GT are all positive with hip girth, superior GT girth and BMI loading the dimension the most (in bold). Dimension 1 was interpreted to be the combination of gluteofemoral adiposity and width of the superior GT.
