Pearson Correlations

  • At -0.286, the correlation between the baseline and six-month triglyceride levels is not statistically significant. Levels were lower overall, but the change was inconsistent across subjects. Several lowered their levels, but several others either did not change or increased their levels.
  • On the other hand, the Pearson correlation between the baseline and six-month weight measurements is 0.996, almost a perfect correlation. Unlike the triglyceride levels, all subjects lost weight and did so quite consistently.
