Why the study?
Does a maximal aerobic capacity of 7.9 METs or more reduce all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in healthy men and women?
Does a maximal aerobic capacity of 7.9 METs or more reduce all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in healthy men and women?
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (≥7.9 METs) is associated with a substantially lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in healthy individuals.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports higher fitness (≥7.9 METs) for lower risk in healthy adults; leaves open causal benefits from interventions in prospective trials.
Better CRF was associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality and CHD/CVD. Participants with a MAC of 7.9 METs or more had substantially lower rates of all-cause mortality and CHD/CVD events compared with those with a MAC of less 7.9 METs.
