Characterizing differences in mortality at the low end of the fitness spectrum in individuals with cardiovascular disease.
Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil. 2010; (3): 289-95
A graded but nonlinear relationship exists between fitness and mortality, with the greatest mortality differences occurring between the least-fit (first, Q1) and the next-least-fit (second, Q2) quintiles of fitness. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical characteristics, exercise test responses, and physical activity (PA) patterns in Q1 versus Q2 in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
