Abstract

Cardiorespiratory fitness(CRF) is a significant predictor of mortality outcomes in various populations, including overweight and obese adults. However, CRF is commonly expressed normalized to total body weight (VO_2peakTBW) which may weaken the relationship in obese adults as fat-free mass (FFM) is directly related to CRF, and increased body fat is associated with lower CRF in adults. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between CRF normalized for FFM(VO_2peakFFM) and all-cause mortality, as well as compare the predictive ability of VO_2peakFFM and VO_2peakTBW in a cohort of self-referred overweight and obese adults.
