Document Summary
Importance of assessing cardiorespiratory fitness in clinical practice bob ross. Low levels of crf associated with high risk of cvd, all-cause mortality, and mortality rates for certain cancers. Crf may be stronger predictor of mortality than smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, and. T2d but not currently included in risk assessments. Addition of crf improves reclassification of risk for adverse outcomes. Age adjusted all-cause death rate decreases from low to moderate to high crf in both sexes. Crf strong and independent marker of risk for cvd and all-cause mortality. Crf stronger predictor of risk than other exercise test variables. Each 1-met higher crf associated with sig. improvement in survival. Strength of exercise capacity in predicting risk of mortality greater in f than m. Association bw crf and health outcomes addressed in multiple populations. Largest gains in survival noted when comparing lowest to next lowest crf groups (health benefits most noticeable at low end of crf continuum)
