a

BMI = body mass index; CAD = coronary artery disease; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; HR = heart rate; MET = metabolic equivalent.

b

SI conversion factor: To convert to mg/dL values to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259.

c

Data are presented as mean ± SD or as No. (percentage).

d

Patients with information available for the characteristic.

e

Functional aerobic capacity groups were compared using analysis of variance for continuous variables and the χ2 test or Fisher exact test for nominal variables.
