Relative risk (hazard ratio) of cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related mortality vs. energy expenditure (METh/d) run or walked in 10,880 hypertensives. Other CVD refers to all other CVD except for stroke, dysrhythmia, and heart failure related mortality. Significance levels, relative to inadequate exercise (i.e., <1.07 METh/d), are coded * P≤0.05, † P≤0.01; and ‡ P≤0.001. Brackets denote 95% confidence intervals. Adjusted for age (age, age2), sex, education, cohort, intakes of red meat, fruit, alcohol, prior heart attack, aspirin (tablets/day), diabetes and cholesterol medication use, and African American ethnicity.
