Multiple imputation was applied in the analyses. All models are adjusted with menopausal status, age, use of hormonal preparations, smoking, education, and alcohol consumption.

ACC-PA, accelerometer-measured physical activity mean amplitude deviation; mg, milligravity (0.00981 m/s2); SR-PA, self-reported physical activity; VO2max, maximal oxygen consumption.

aModel is additionally adjusted with lean body mass.

bModel is additionally adjusted with body height.
