Event	Cardiovascular fitness	No. of events	Adjusted HR (95% CI)
Education/university outcome	Per stanine score	230,567	1.09 (1.09–1.10)
	Scores 6–9 vs. 1–4	103,444	1.78 (1.75–1.81)

The relationships between cardiovascular fitness at age 18 and subsequent time dependent events; obtaining a university degree (compared to pre-high school or high school) or achieving an occupation with a high socioeconomic index; SEI 3 (compared to an occupation with a low socioeconomic index; SEI 1). SEI 1, unskilled/semi-skilled worker in manufacturing sector; skilled worker in manufacturing sector; unskilled/semi-skilled worker in service sector; or skilled worker in service sector. SEI 2, lower-level non-manual employees (education <2 y high school), lower-level non-manual employees (education 2 y high school), intermediate-level non-manual employees, farmers, and other self-employed. SEI 3, self-employed with academic education, manager, higher civil servants, and senior salaried employees.
