Data shown represent rho Spearman correlation coefficient (p value) and β Coefficient (95% CI), adjusted by age and sex. BMI = body mass index, WC = waist circumference, WtHR = waist-to-height ratio, VO2max = maximal oxygen consumption, HGS = hand grip strength test. PA = physical activity. p-value less than 0.05 are considered statistically significant.
