↵* Adjusted for age, examination year, body mass index, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and parental cardiovascular disease.
↵† Further adjusted for PA for CRF or CRF for PA.
↵‡ Inactive, insufficient and recommended was defined as 0, 1.499 and .500 MET-minutes/week, respectively.
↵§ Low, moderate and high was defined as the least fit 20%, the next fit 40% and the most fit 40%, respectively.
CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; MET, metabolic equivalent; PA, physical activity.
