Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Long-Term Survival in “Low-Risk” Adults
BACKGROUND We sought to establish whether cardiorespiratory fitness had important implications for long-term cardiovascular risk among individuals classified as low risk by the Framingham Risk Score (10-year coronary heart disease risk <10%). Prognostic factors of long-term cardiovascular risk are needed for low-risk subjects who make up the largest percentage of the US population. METHODS AN...

متن کاملLow cardiorespiratory fitness in people at risk for type 2 diabetes: early marker for insulin resistance
PURPOSE There is a significant association between insulin resistance and low cardiorespiratory fitness in nondiabetic subjects. In a population with risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), before they are insulin resistant, we investigated low exercise capacity (VO2max) as an early marker of impaired insulin sensitivity in order to determine earlier interventions to prevent development of ins...
