Association Between Change in Nonexercise Estimated Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mortality in Men.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between change in nonexercise estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) and mortality risk in adult men.

Patients and methods

A total of 10,445 men (mean age, 44.6±9.3 years) from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study underwent 2 comprehensive medical examinations and peak work rate tests between January 1, 1979, and December 31, 2002, with an average time between measures of 5.7±4.9 years. Participants were observed for 11.6±6.4 years after their second examination until death or December 31, 2003. The eCRF was calculated with the Jackson et al (2012) and Nes et al (2011) published nonexercise estimation equations. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to examine the association between change in eCRF and all-cause and cardiov
