Fitness assessment may refine mortality risk stratification across glucose levels; leaves open whether fitness gains alter survival.
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce all-cause mortality in men across different glycemic status levels?
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in men, independent of baseline glycemic status and other mortality risk factors.
Kohl et al. (1992) studied this question.
