Multivariable-adjusted associations between appendicular lean mass, physical activity and left ventricular peak systolic strain

	Std. beta	P-value
ALMa	− 0.05	0.380
ALM indexb	− 0.01	0.971
MVPAc	0.01	0.897
CRFc	− 0.15	< .001

Standardized beta estimate represents change in the outcome of interest per 1-SD increase in the primary exposure variable keeping other covariates fixed. ALM appendicular lean mass, CRF cardiorespiratory fitness, MVPA moderate to vigorous physical activity
