A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, aggregating over 20.9 million observations, shows cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as a consistent predictor of reduced morbidity and mortality across various health outcomes in adults.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.May 8 2024Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A recent British Journal of Sports Medicine study examines the predictive relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness and health outcomes in adults.
CRF is not regularly assessed in clinical practice; however, its inclusion could enhance the identification of high-risk individuals, thereby helping in patient management. Prior research has shown an association between CRF and type 2 diabetes, stroke, certain cancers, and depression. In individuals with chronic conditions, a higher CRF could improve the prognosis.
The analysis included 26 systematic reviews, 199 unique cohort studies, and a combined sample size of 20.9 million observations.

For example, considering the close association with physical exercise, CRF could help in guiding exercise prescription.
