Lowest quartile of CRF is the reference category for quartile analysis; values are betas (95% confidence intervals) derived from survey linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, field center, Hispanic/Latino background, place of birth, annual household income, and parent education level, MVPA, and sedentary behavior.

Model 2 is further adjusted for waist circumference z-score.

BF, body fat; BMI, body mass index; CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HDL, high density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment – insulin resistance; LDL, low density lipoprotein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; WC, waist circumference.
