Key result
High cardiorespiratory fitness reduced all-cause mortality in men with hypertension compared to low fitness (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.35-0.54) and negated the mortality risk associated with obesity.
Why the study?
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce the mortality risk associated with higher adiposity in men with hypertension?
Cohort (n=13,155)
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce the mortality risk associated with higher adiposity in men with hypertension?
Hazard Ratio: 0.43 (95% CI 0.35–0.54)
High cardiorespiratory fitness appears to negate the all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks associated with obesity in men with hypertension.

Supports fitness assessment in hypertensive men; leaves open whether interventions to raise fitness improve outcomes.
McAuley et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=13,155). High cardiorespiratory fitness vs. Low cardiorespiratory fitness was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.35-0.54). High cardiorespiratory fitness reduced all-cause mortality in men with hypertension compared to low fitness (HR 0.43; 95% CI 0.35-0.54) and negated the mortality risk associated with obesity.
