Role of Fitness in the Metabolically Healthy but Obese Phenotype: A Review and Update
Francisco B. Ortega,Francisco B. Ortega,Cristina Cadenas-Sanchez,Xuemei Sui,Steven N. Blair,Carl J. Lavie +5 more
TL;DR: The present review aimed to contribute to the characterization of the MHO phenotype by examining whether MHO individuals are fitter than metabolically abnormal obese (MAO) individuals in terms of CRF and other PF components, and makes a proposal for harmonizing this definition in adults and in youth.

Estimated Functional Capacity Predicts Mortality in Older Adults
TL;DR: Examination of associations between functional capacity estimated from cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and mortality risks in adults aged 60 and older finds no clear link between the two.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Nonfatal Cardiovascular Disease in Women and Men With Hypertension
TL;DR: In adults with HTN, higher CRF is associated with lower risk of nonfatal CVD events, independent of other clinical risk predictors.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Glycemic Status, and Mortality Risk in Men
TL;DR: It is suggested that risk of death increases with lessfavorable glycemic status, and that cardiorespiratory fitness may attenuate the forces of impaired carbohydrate metabolism on mortality from any cause.
