Multiple regression models predicting VO2 at ventilatory threshold in intermittent claudication patients (n=134).
| Dependent variable | Independent variables | β (EP) | b | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| aVO2 at ventilatory threshold, ml.kg−1.min−1 | Sex, women=0; men=1 | 1.251 (0.395) | 0.254 | 0.002 |
| Body mass index, kg−1.m2 | −0.072 (0.032) | −0.181 | 0.024 | |
| Peak walking time, seconds | 0.002 (0.001) | 0.171 | 0.044 | |
| Ankle brachial index | 2.363 (0.852) | 0.228 | 0.006 |
β (EP) – Regression coefficient (error-standard); b – Standardized coefficients.
