Associations are reported per SD-units of fitness and physical activity traits. Model adjustments: 1. Age, sex and region. 2. Age, sex, region, diabetes, smoking, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, lipid medication, height, ethnicity and Townsend index. 3. All in 2) plus IPAQ-PA (grip strength analyses) or grip strength (IPAQ-PA analyses). Analyses of CRF and PA were adjusted for both IPAQ-PA and grip strength.

Abbreviations: IPAQ-PA, physical activity assessed by international physical activity questionnaire; CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; PA, Physical activity assessed by wrist-worn accelerometer; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
