*Represents 1 unit change in physical activity index and the unit change in the corresponding outcome unless otherwise specified. All models account for correlation among family members; model 1: adjusted for age and sex; model 2: adjusted for age, sex, education, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, antihypertension medication use, diabetes, coronary heart disease, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and current smoking status. Abbreviations: LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; RWT, relative wall thickness; MR pro-ANP, mid-regional prohormone atrial natriuretic peptide; NT pro-BNP, N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide. *P < 0.05, †P < 0.01, ‡P < 0.001.
