ContextRecent guidelines for treatment of overweight and obesity include recommendations
for risk stratification by disease conditions and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, but
the role of physical inactivity is not prominent in these recommendations. ObjectiveTo
quantify the influence of low cardiorespiratory fitness, an objective marker of physical
inactivity, on CVD and all-cause mortality in normal-weight, overweight, and obese men and
compare low fitness with other mortality predictors. DesignProspective observational data …
