Cardiorespiratory fitness as a predictor of dementia mortality in men and women.
Rui Liu,Xuemei Sui,James N. Laditka,Timothy S. Church,Natalie Colabianchi,James R. Hussey,Steven N. Blair +6 more
TL;DR: Greater fitness was associated with lower risk of mortality from dementia in a large cohort of men and women.
Prevention of heart failure in older adults may require higher levels of physical activity than needed for other cardiovascular events.
Kanan Patel,Xuemei Sui,Yan Zhang,Gregg C. Fonarow,Inmaculada Aban,Cynthia J. Brown,Cynthia J. Brown,Vera Bittner,Dalane W. Kitzman,Richard M. Allman,Richard M. Allman,Maciej Banach,Wilbert S. Aronow,Stefan D. Anker,Steven N. Blair,Ali Ahmed,Ali Ahmed +16 more
TL;DR: In community-dwelling older adults, high level of physical activity was associated with lower risk of incident HF, but all levels ofPhysical activity were associated withLower Risk of incident AMI, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality.
Does measurement site for visceral and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue alter associations with the metabolic syndrome
TL;DR: The measurement site for VAT, but not for ASAT, has a substantial influence on the magnitude of the association with both metabolic syndrome definitions, but because VAT remained significantly associated with metabolic syndrome regardless of measurement site, the clinical interpretation was unaltered by measurement protocol or metabolic syndrome definition.
Physical activity, physical fitness, and all-cause mortality in women: do women need to be active?
TL;DR: The lack of association between physical activity and mortality in women is attributed to inadequate assessment of activity, and this also is the likely explanation for the difference in results between women and men in published studies of physical Activity and mortality.

TL;DR: The inclusion of traditional clinical CVD risk factors added little to risk discrimination and did not improve the classification of risk beyond this simple eCRF measurement, which may be proposed as a practical and cost‐effective first‐line approach in primary prevention settings.
