Multiple linear regression analysis of predictors of maximal oxygen consumption (log VO_2max)

	β	95% Confidence Interval	p value
Renal transplant (vs. controls)	-0.136	-0.192 to -0.079	p < 0.001
Black race (vs. non-black)	-0.128	-0.179 to -0.077	p < 0.001
Female sex (vs. male sex)	-0.109	-0.170 to -0.048	p = 0.001
Fat free mass	0.923	0.822 to 1.024	p < 0.001
Fat mass	-0.093	-0.144 to -.042	p < 0.001
Constant	-2.144

R² = 0.84. Model is described by VO_2max = exp [-2.144 + (-0.128 * Race) + (-0.109 * Sex) + (-0.136 * Renal Transplant)] * Fat Free Mass^0.923 * Fat Mass^-0.093.

VO_2max, fat free mass and fat mass were log transformed.
