| Multiple linear regression “stepwise” analysis for total volumes of sweat response of the four measured sites with sex, age, BH, BW and BMI | ||||
| Sweat volume (μl) | Forearm (Vt1) | Proximal leg (Vt2) | Distal leg (Vt3) | Foot (Vt4) |
| (R, R square) | (weight = 0.465, 0.216) | (weight = 0.436, 0.190) | (weight = 0.452, 0.204) | (weight; age; sex = 0.556, 0.310) |
| Non-standardized regression equation | Vt1 = −0.216 + 0.017 × BW | Vt2 = 0.038 + 0.014× BW | Vt3 = −0.175 + 0.017 × BW | Vt4 = 0.213 + 0.007 × BW - 0.003 × age + 0.119× gender |
| Standardized regression equation | Vt1 = 0.465 × BW | Vt2 = 0.436 × BW | Vt3 = 0.452 × BW | Vt4 = 0.319 × BW - 0.186 × age + 0.246× gender |
Abbreviations: BH, body height; BW, body weight; BMI, body mass index; Vt1, square root of total volume of sweat response recorded at forearm; Vt2, square root of total volume of sweat response recorded at proximal leg; Vt3, square root of total volume of sweat response recorded at distal leg; Vt4, square root of total volume of sweat response recorded at foot.
