Notes: CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale; MET = metabolic equivalent; PFS = Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (higher scores = greater perceived fatigability); SD = standard deviation. All reported in mean ± SD or n (%).

*Hypertension is defined by systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mmHg.

Diabetes mellitus is defined by hemoglobin A1c ≥6.5.

Physical activity was measured with the Framingham Physical Activity Index.
