2. Figure 1
Data represent the adjusted mean (SEM) for men (left) and women (right) for averaged metabolic syndrome summed z scores on the basis of 3 statistical models. Model 1 was adjusted for age and examination year. Model 2 was adjusted for age, examination year, body mass index, smoking (current smoker or not), alcohol intake (>14 drinks per week for men and >7 drinks per week for women or not), and family history of cardiovascular disease. Model 3 was adjusted for age, examination year, body mass index, physical activity (active or inactive), smoking (current smoker or not), alcohol intake (>14 drinks per week for men and >7 drinks per week for women or not), hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and diabetes (present or not for each), and family history of cardiovascular disease. ∗P<.001; ∗∗P=.02; †P=.04; ††P=.008.

Data present the quadratic regression of individual metabolic syndrome summed z scores and accompanying 95% CIs vs estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (ie, metabolic equivalents [METs]) from graded exercise testing for men (A) and women (B).
