Relative risk (95% CI) for incident self-reported physician-diagnosed gout during an average of 7.74 y of follow-up in relation to physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness¹

	Cardiorespiratory fitness(10-km performance speed as m/s)		Physical activity(km/d running distance)
	BMI unadjusted	BMI adjusted	BMI unadjusted	BMI adjusted
All (n=28 990)
Physical activity			0.92 (0.88, 0.97)2	0.99 (0.94, 1.03)
Fitness subset (n= 24 400)
Fitness	0.55 (0.41, 0.75)3	0.89 (0.63, 1.24)
Physical activity			0.92 (0.87, 0.97)4	0.98 (0.93, 1.04)
Fitness and activity	0.61 (0.44, 0.86)4	0.90 (0.64, 1.29)	0.95 (0.90, 1.00)	0.99 (0.93, 1.05)

¹Cox proportional hazard model adjusted for age; daily intakes of meat, fish, fruit, alcohol, and aspirin; and hypertension. Additional adjustment was made for physical activity, 10-km performance, and BMI where indicated. Fitness subset includes only those men who reported their 10-km performance time at baseline.
