Models were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, FEV1% pred, any pulmonary comorbidities, and any extra-pulmonary comorbidities. Pulmonary comorbidities include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, or interstitial lung disease, and extra-pulmonary comorbidities include cardiovascular diseases or diabetes mellitus. 6MWD, 6-min walk distance. MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
