Descriptive statistics for age, physical activity, physical fitness and cardio-metabolic markers.

Fig 1.
Mediation pathway of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Pathway (regression coefficient of unstandardized exposures and outcomes (standard error)) of the association between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA, hours/day) and clustered cardio-metabolic risk (CMRS) through cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF, ml.min-1.kg-1) corrected for all covariates: sedentary time, age, sex, waking time, smoking, alcohol consumption, suger intake, saturated fat intake and education level. CRF explains 73% of the total variance in CMRS.
