Key result
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness was inversely associated with metabolic syndrome, with the highest fitness quartile having lower odds than the lowest (OR 0.10; 95% CI 0.07-0.14; P<0.001).
Why the study?
Is higher cardiorespiratory fitness associated with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adults?
Population
3636 adults who completed cardiorespiratory fitness and metabolic risk factor assessment.
Comparison
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness defined as… vs Lowest quartile of cardiorespiratory fitness.
Design

May support fitness assessment in metabolic risk stratification; leaves open whether improving fitness reduces incidence.
Cohort (n=3,636)
Is higher cardiorespiratory fitness associated with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adults?
Odds Ratio: 0.1 (95% CI 0.07–0.14)
p-value: p=<.001
Higher objectively measured cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly and inversely associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in both men and women.
Kelley et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Metabolic syndrome (n=3,636). Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) vs. Lowest fitness quartile was evaluated on Metabolic syndrome (≥3 risk factors) (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.07-0.14, p=<.001). Higher cardiorespiratory fitness was inversely associated with metabolic syndrome, with the highest fitness quartile having lower odds than the lowest (OR 0.10; 95% CI 0.07-0.14; P<0.001).
