Key result
Poor self-rated physical fitness was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.8-2.0) and mortality due to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory diseases.
Why the study?
Does poor self-rated physical fitness predict all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a general population cohort?
Cohort (n=59,741)
Does poor self-rated physical fitness predict all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a general population cohort?
Hazard Ratio: 1.9 (95% CI 1.8–2)
A simple question about perceived physical fitness can identify individuals at higher risk for all-cause and cause-specific mortality, highlighting the prognostic value of self-rated fitness.

May aid mortality risk stratification via simple query; leaves open causal effects and need for interventional trials.
Solomon et al. (2017) reported a cohort. Poor self-rated physical fitness was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.8-2.0). Poor self-rated physical fitness was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.8-2.0) and mortality due to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory diseases.
