Notes: MET = metabolic equivalent; PA = physical activity; PFS = Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale. Physical activity was measured with the Framingham Physical Activity Index and rescaled to every 5 MET-hrs/day. Perceived physical fatigability was measured with the Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS, range 0–50) and rescaled to every 5 points. All models accounted for family structure. Model 0 adjusted for field center. Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, and field center. Model 2 adjusted for Model 1 + body mass index, smoking status, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lung disease, cancer (except for skin cancer), arthritis, and depressive symptoms.
