Mean (standard errors, SE) for each exercise performance estimated using analysis of covariance with adjustments for Model 1: age and service specialty adjustments; Model 2: the covariates in Model 1, body mass index and waist circumference adjustments; Model 3: the covariates in Model 2, mean blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, habits of alcohol intake, betel nut chewing, cigarette smoking, and weekly exercise frequency adjustments.
