TABLE 3.

Results of the linear models in which each risk score was used as the outcome (dependent variable) and fitness age acceleration (fitAA) as the predictor, adjusting for covariates.

	Estimate	95% CI	p
Framingham CVD score	0.26	(-0.04; 0.56)	0.0903
ACC AHA CVD score	0.61	(0.27; 0.95)	0.0006
MESA CVD score	0.21	(0.08; 0.35)	0.0023
Stern diabetes risk score	−0.25	(-1.14; 0.63)	0.5763
Comorbidity index	0.02	(-0.05; 0.08)	0.6469
Levine mortality score	0.90	(0.43; 1.37)	0.0002

Abbreviations: fitAA, fitness age acceleration; CI, confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular diseases; ACC, American College of Cardiology; AHA, American heart association; MESA, multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis. Estimates can be interpreted as the increase in the percentage risk score for each year increase in fitAA. Only significant p values should be in bold.
