Physical Fitness and All-Cause Mortality: A Prospective Study of Healthy Men and Women
Steven N. Blair,Harold W. Kohl,Ralph S. Paffenbarger,Debra G. Clark,Kenneth H. Cooper,Larry W. Gibbons +5 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of physical fitness appear to delay all-cause mortality primarily due to lowered rates of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and lower mortality rates in higher fitness categories also were seen for cardiovascular Disease and cancer of combined sites.

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.

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.

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.

Physical fitness and incidence of hypertension in healthy normotensive men and women.
TL;DR: Physical fitness in persons with low levels of physical fitness had a relative risk of 1.52 for the development of hypertension when compared with highly fit persons, and risk of hypertension developing also increased substantially with increased baseline blood pressure.
