The correlation between ABI and PA was strengthened in the more fitted models although it remained marginally non-significant ( p = .055).

Associations with cfPWV, NT-pro-BNP and hsTnT remained highly significant in all adjusted models, while no effects were noted in the adjusted models regarding IMT.
Two studies have cross-sectionally investigated the association of PA values with cardiovascular scores; An Saad et al demonstrated a marginally significant negative correlation of PA with the global cardiovascular risk score among individuals aged >60 years for both genders. 14 Likewise, Portugal et al. ascertained higher PA measurements among individuals classified as low risk than those at elevated risk via either the Framingham General Cardiovascular or ACC/AHA ASCVD risk scores. 13 Furthermore, in a cohort of 2601 individuals followed up over 24 years, Langer et al. ascertained lower baseline PA values among women with incident CVD than those without.
