Fig. 2: Observational association between fitness and risk of type 2 diabetes.
From: Causal associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and type 2 diabetes
Odds Ratio (and 95% confidence interval) for the association of cardiorespiratory fitness level with incident type 2 diabetes after adjustment for potential confounding variables (Model 3, Supplementary Table 2) and when using 41 ml O2⋅min−1⋅kg−1 fat-free mass (FFM) as the reference level. Histogram bins are 1.75 ml O2⋅min−1⋅kg−1 FFM wide and represent the distribution of cardiorespiratory fitness levels in UK Biobank participants (n = 73,574) who completed exercise testing. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
