Muscular Fitness and All-Cause Mortality: Prospective Observations
Shannon J. FitzGerald,Carolyn E. Barlow,James B. Kampert,James R. Morrow,Allen W. Jackson,Steven N. Blair +5 more
TL;DR: To determine if a dose-response relation exists between muscular fitness and mortality after controlling for factors such as age and cardiorespiratory fitness, 9105 men and women in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study were included.
Associations of Resistance Exercise with Cardiovascular Disease Morbidity and Mortality.
Yanghui Liu,Duck-chul Lee,Yehua Li,Weicheng Zhu,Riquan Zhang,Xuemei Sui,Carl J. Lavie,Steven N. Blair +7 more
TL;DR: Even one time or less than 1 h·wk−1 of RE, independent of AE, is associated with reduced risks of CVD and all-cause mortality, and BMI mediates the association of RE with total CVD events.

Weighing the options: criteria for evaluating weight-management programs. The Committee to Develop Criteria for Evaluating the Outcomes of Approaches to Prevent and Treat Obesity.
Judith S. Stern,Jules Hirsch,Steven N. Blair,John P. Foreyt,Arthur Frank,Kumanyika Sk,Madans Jh,Marlatt Ga,St Jeor St,Stunkard Aj +9 more
TL;DR: The scientific evidence suggests strongly that obese individuals who lose even relatively small amounts of weight are likely to decrease their blood pressure, reduce abnormally high levels of blood glucose, bring blood concentrations of cholesterol and triglycerides down to more desirable levels, reduce sleep apnea, decrease their risk of osteoarthritis of the weight-bearing joints and depression, and increase self-esteem.

Changes in aerobic power of women, ages 20-64 yr
TL;DR: Statistically controlling for time differences between tests, general linear models analysis showed that longitudinal changes in aerobic power were due to independent changes in %fat and SR-PA, confirming the cross-sectional results.

Muscular Strength and Adiposity as Predictors of Adulthood Cancer Mortality in Men
Jonatan R. Ruiz,Xuemei Sui,Felipe Lobelo,Duck-chul Lee,James R. Morrow,Allen W. Jackson,James R. Hébert,Charles E. Matthews,Michael Sjöström,Steven N. Blair +9 more
TL;DR: Higher levels of muscular strength are associated with lower cancer mortality risk in men, independent of clinically established measures of overall and central adiposity, and other potential confounders.
