BMI = body mass index; CHD = coronary heart disease; CHF = congestive heart failure; MVPA = moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; SATP = transition probabilities from sedentary to active; SD = standard deviation; TAC = total activity count; TLAC = total log activity count.

aFor continuous variables, the mean is reported with the standard deviation shown in parentheses. For binary or categorical variables, the number of study participants in that category is reported with the alive/deceased specific prevalence of each category in parentheses.

bVariables are ranked by their predictive ability as measured by the AUC in single predictor logistic regressions with 5-year all-cause mortality as the outcome.
