Key result
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness, whether objectively measured or estimated, is consistently associated with reduced risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality.
Why the study?
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in adults?
Does higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduce all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in adults?
Both objectively measured and estimated cardiorespiratory fitness are similarly predictive of reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in adults, supporting the promotion of moderate-intensity physical activity.
• Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) reduces all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risks. • CRF measured from cardiopulmonary exercise testing and estimated from maximal treadmill duration, submaximal exercise tests, and non-exercise algorithms show similar associations between CRF and all-cause and CVD mortality. • Protective associations between higher CRF and all-cause and CVD mortality were consistent when stratified by measurement year, global region, age, gender, follow-up duration, number of mortality events, and exercise test modality. • Populations with low CRF are encouraged to engage in moderate-intensity physical activity to reduce their risks for all-cause and CVD mortality.

Ainsworth et al. (2024) conducted an editorial in All-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) vs. Low cardiorespiratory fitness was evaluated on All-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness, whether objectively measured or estimated, is consistently associated with reduced risks of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality.
