Significant differences are presented in bold and set at α ​= ​0.05 level.

a

Adjusted for age, and sex.

b

Adjusted for variables in Model 1 plus total aerobics activity (MET-min/week), body mass index, current smoking (yes/no), hypertension (present/not), diabetes (present/not), and hypercholesterolemia (yes/no).

c

Adjusted for variables in Model 2 plus cardiorespiratory fitness (treadmill time duration in minutes).

d

Adjusted for variables in Model 3 plus flexibility activity.
