Midlife cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a reduced long-term risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD death

Midlife Cardiorespiratory Fitness Linked to Risk for COPD

Risk for incident COPD, death from COPD lower for those with normal, high CRF versus low CRF
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a lower risk for incident lung and colorectal cancer and with a lower risk for all-cause mortality among those diagnosed with lung and colorectal cancer

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Tied to Lower Risk for Lung Cancer, CRC

For those diagnosed with lung cancer, CRC, higher CRF tied to lower risk for subsequent death
Poor cardiorespiratory fitness is strongly associated with coronary heart disease in a low-risk population

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Tied to Coronary Heart Disease Risk

Association between VO2peak and coronary heart disease crosses the fitness continuum
Serum vitamin D levels are associated with cardiorespiratory fitness

Vitamin D Levels Linked to Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Individuals in top quartile of vitamin D levels have significantly higher CRF than those in lowest quartile
Midlife fitness is associated with reduced risk of depression in later life and with reductions in the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and CVD mortality after later-life depression

Midlife Fitness Linked to Lower Risk of Depression, CVD Death

Reduction also seen in CVD mortality with antecedent depression in association with high fitness level
Higher pre-pregnancy fitness lowers the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus

Pre-Pregnancy Fitness Lowers Gestational Diabetes Risk

However, self-reported physical activity and television time not tied to diabetes risk
High cardiovascular fitness at midlife is associated with a reduced risk of subsequent dementia in women

High Midlife Cardio Fitness May Ward Off Dementia in Women

Research shows high fitness at midlife delayed age of dementia onset by almost 10 years
Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with better white matter fiber integrity in patients with mild cognitive impairment

Cardiorespiratory Fitness, White Matter Integrity Tied to Cognition

VO2max positively linked to DTI metrics of fractional anisotropy in about half MW fiber tracts
Cardiometabolic risk and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance increase with increasing body mass index categories among children

Cardiometabolic Risk, HOMA-IR Up With Increasing BMI in Young

Cardiorespiratory fitness cuts cardiometabolic risk score as BMI categories rise in children
Easy stair walking may boost energy more effectively than drinking caffeine

Stair Walking Combats Fatigue Better Than Caffeine

A 10-minute climb can increase both fitness and motivation, researcher says
