| Abstract | PURPOSE: Current physical activity guidelines are based in part on studies of cardiorespiratory fitness, however, the effects of fitness may differ from activity. Analyses were undertaken to determine the dose-response relationships of fitness to incident hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes independent of activity. METHODS: Self-reported physician-diagnosed incident diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension were compared to baseline running distance in 29,139 men and 11,985 women followed prospectively for 7.7 and 7.4 yr, respectively, and compared to cardiorespiratory fitness (m.s 10-km performance) in 85% of men and 76% of women. RESULTS: During follow up, 2342 men (8.53%) and 499 women (4.26%) became hypertensive, 3330 men (12.2%) and 599 women (5.14%) became hypercholesterolemic, and 197 men (0.68%) and 28 women (0.23%) became diabetic. Longer baseline distance predicted lower incident hypertension (men, P < 0.0001; women, P = 0.08), hypercholesterolemia (men and women, P < 0.0001), and diabetes (men, P < 0.001; women, P < 0.01) during follow up. The odds for hypercholesterolemia decreased significantly with each 16 km.wk increment in distance through 64 km.wk in men and 48 km.wk in women. Higher baseline fitness predicted significantly lower odds for incident hypertension (men, P < 0.0001; women, P < 0.001), hypercholesterolemia (men, P < 0.0001; women, P < 0.01), and diabetes (men, P < 0.001; women, P < 0.01), independent of distance. Compared to the least fit men, the fittest men had 62% lower odds for becoming hypertensive, 67% lower odds for becoming hypercholesterolemic, and 86% lower odds for becoming diabetic. When adjusted for BMI, greater fitness predicted significantly lower odds for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes in men. CONCLUSIONS: Higher cardiorespiratory fitness reduces the odds for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, independent of physical activity and is an important risk factor separate from physical activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
