C Do Lee, SN Blair, AS Jackson - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 1999 - Elsevier
Background Cardiorespiratory fitness and body fatness are both related to health, but their
interrelation to all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is unknown. Objective
We examined the health benefits of leanness and the hazards of obesity while
simultaneously considering cardiorespiratory fitness. Design This was an observational
cohort study. We followed 21925 men, aged 30–83 y, who had a body-composition
assessment and a maximal treadmill exercise test. There were 428 deaths (144 from CVD …
