Table 2 Pearson's correlation coefficients (r) between the dependent variable "Cobb angle" and the independent variable "rib-index" with and without the effect of the (predictor) variable "age"
| Â | "Thoracic Cobb angle" | "Thoracolumbar Cobb angle" | "Lumbar Cobb angle" |
|---|---|---|---|
"Rib-index" without the effect of "age" | r = 0.197 p = 0.077 | r = 0.105 p = 0.35 | r = 0.052 p = 0.642 |
