Model 1: Unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted by date when positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) was performed. Model 3: adjusted by date of PET/CT and sex. β = non-standardised coefficients; BM = body mass; R2 = explained variance; SUV = standardised uptake value; LBM: lean body mass; VO2max = maximum volume of oxygen consumed. n = 98 subjects.
