Abstract
This cross-sectional study aims to examine association between different components of physical fitness and perceived work ability among working age population.

Logistic regression was used for examining the associations between physical fitness and work ability. After adjusting for potential confounders (age, sex, marital status, educational level, work characteristics, total physical activity, daily smoking, BMI and number of diseases), odds ratios indicated that good work ability was more likely among those who had better balance in single leg stand test (OR = 1.54; 95
