	VO2max(M)	SBP	BMI	PLG	TC
SBP	−0.24
BMI	−0.24	0.36
PLG	−0.27	0.18	0.13
TC	−0.31	0.19	0.25	0.15

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; FRS, Framingham coronary heart disease risk score, PLG, post-load glucose; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; VO₂max(M), estimated maximal oxygen consumption using Milligan equation. Data are Pearson's (or ^aSpearman's) correlation coefficients, values in bold indicate P < 0.001. All P values were calculated using a Bonferroni correction for multiple testing.
