Cardiorespiratory fitness: a powerful predictor of morbidity and mortality.
New data combining >20.9 million observations from 199 cohort studies found:
- Higher (compared to lower) aerobic fitness reduced the risk of all-cause mortality by 41-53%
- Each 1-MET (3.5 mL/kg/min) increase in aerobic fitness was associated with an 11-17% reduction in all-cause mortality

Cardiorespiratory fitness is a powerful marker of health. We found that high fitness was a consistent and strong protective risk factor for several mortality and incident outcomes. The evidence was similar in general and clinical populations. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2…
We need to do a better job of incorporating cardiorespiratory fitness measures in clinical and public health practice as a risk stratification tool. This is too important to continue to ignore!
