Evaluation of Genetics in the Association Between Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Health

This research investigates how genetics relate to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and its effects on health outcomes.
Evaluated genome-wide polygenic scores (PGS) for their association with CRF phenotype.
Analyzed links between genetic variations and incidences of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
Genome-wide PGS accounts for a small portion of CRF phenotype variation.
Some links between genetic factors and T2D incidence were detected.

. The genome-wide PGS explains only a fraction of the CRF phenotype, yet some small associations were observed, particularly for T2D incidence.
