Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Physical Fitness and All-Cause Mortality: A Prospective Study of Healthy and Unhealthy Men
Steven N. Blair,Harold W. Kohl,Carolyn E. Barlow,Ralph S. Paffenbarger,Larry W. Gibbons,Caroline A. Macera +5 more
TL;DR: Men who maintained or improved adequate physical fitness were less likely to die from all causes and from cardiovascular disease during follow-up than persistently unfit men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of cardiorespiratory fitness and other precursors on cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in men and women
Steven N. Blair,James B. Kampert,Harold W. Kohl,Carolyn E. Barlow,Caroline A. Macera,Ralph S. Paffenbarger,Larry W. Gibbons +6 more
TL;DR: Low fitness is an important precursor of mortality and the protective effect of fitness held for smokers and nonsmokers, those with and without elevated cholesterol levels or elevated blood pressure, and unhealthy and healthy persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Low Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mortality in Normal-Weight, Overweight, and Obese Men
Ming Wei,James B. Kampert,Carolyn E. Barlow,Milton Z. Nichaman,Larry W. Gibbons,Ralph S. Paffenbarger,Steven N. Blair +6 more
TL;DR: Low cardiorespiratory fitness was a strong and independent predictor of CVD and all-cause mortality and of comparable importance with that of diabetes mellitus and other CVD risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Is Inversely Associated With the Incidence of Metabolic Syndrome A Prospective Study of Men and Women
Michael J. LaMonte,Carolyn E. Barlow,Radim Jurca,James B. Kampert,Timothy S. Church,Steven N. Blair +5 more
TL;DR: Clinicians should consider the potential benefits of greater cardiorespiratory fitness in the primary prevention of metabolic syndrome, particularly among patients who have already begun to cluster metabolic syndrome components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise capacity and body composition as predictors of mortality among men with diabetes
Timothy S. Church,Yiling J. Cheng,Conrad P. Earnest,Carolyn E. Barlow,Larry W. Gibbons,Elisa L. Priest,Steven N. Blair +6 more
TL;DR: There was a steep inverse gradient between fitness and mortality in this cohort of men with documented diabetes, and this association was independent of BMI.
