Definitely morning\/moderately morning\/neither\/moderately evening were assessed using the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. Arterial stiffness was evaluated by the cardio-ankle vascular index. Cardiorespiratory fitness was directly measured as peak oxygen uptake (v\u0307O2peak) during a maximal exercise stress test and categorized into sex- and age-specific tertiles (relatively low\/moderate\/high cardiorespiratory fitness). Cardio-ankle vascular index by chronotype of each cardiorespiratory fitness level category was compared, and the results were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, triglyceride level, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, smoking status, alcohol intake, and total energy intake.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A significant interaction in a 2-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) between chronotype and cardiorespiratory fitness on cardio-ankle vascular index was observed (P\u2009=\u2009.007).
