### Correlations between Blood Pressure Parameters and Body Composition  
The results of these analyses are reported in Table 2.  
There were some significant correlations observed. Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) showed a significant correlation with brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure, central systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and arterial stiffness as measured by Al@75. Additionally, VAT had significant correlations with brachial and central systolic blood pressure, brachial diastolic blood pressure, and Al@75. Al@75 was also significantly correlated with total fat mass, lean/fat mass ratio, and IMAT. In contrast, several correlations did not reach statistical significance. Specifically, weight, BMI, and total fat mass (FM) did not show significant correlations with most of the cardiovascular parameters, including brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, central systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and pulse wave analysis (PWA). Similarly, lean/fat mass ratio and IMAT also had mostly non-significant correlations with the cardiovascular parameters. Correlations between Cardiovascular and Cardiometabolic Risk Indices and Blood Pressure and Body Composition Parameters  
The results of these analyses are reported in Table 3.  
We showed moderate to strong positive correlations with brachial and central systolic BP with the HOMA Index (\(r\) = 0.65, \(p\) < 0.01; \(r\) = 0.57, \(p\) = 0.01, respectively), Tg index (\(r\) = 0.56, \(p\) < 0.01; \(r\) = 0.52, \(p\) = 0.02, respectively), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) (\(r\) = 0.51, \(p\) = 0.02; \(r\) = 0.48, \(p\) = 0.04, respectively). Peripheral arterial stiffness, as measured by PWA, correlates with the HOMA Index (\(r\) = 0.49, \(p\) = 0.04) and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (N/L Ratio) (\(r\) = 0.54, \(p\) = 0.01). Metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk indices such as the triglycerides to HDL ratio (TG/HDL) and BMI (\(r\) = 0.47, \(p\) = 0.03). Moreover, the HOMA index showed a strong positive correlation with VAT (\(r\) = 0.59, \(p\) = 0.01) and WHR (\(r\) = 0.50, \(p\) = 0.03). \begin{table}
