The importance of cardiorespiratory fitness and sleep duration in early CVD prevention: BMI, resting heart rate and questions about sleep patterns are suggested in risk assessment of young adults, 18–25 years

Table 5 Multiple logistic regression with CVD risk (at risk or not at risk, measured by Wildman score) as dependent variable, and modifiable lifestyle factors as independent variables entered in the same model, to create the odds ratio (OR)

Lifestyle factors	Exp (B)	P-value	Significance
CRF - VO₂ max (ml/kg/min)	1.792	< 0.001	***
Sleep in hours per night	1.617	0.014	*
MVPA (min/day)	1.472	0.112	NS
Food habits (points)	1.351	0.133	NS
Handgrip strength (kg)	1.074	0.719	NS

CRF cardiorespiratory fitness measured as estimated maximal oxygen uptake, VO₂ max and MVPA moderate- and vigorous intensity physical activity
Levels of significance were set to P < 0.05 = *, P < 0.01 = ** or P < 0.001 = *** and NS, not significant
