Construct validation of a non-exercise measure of cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults
BACKGROUND Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with a decreased risk of all-cause mortality but is rarely assessed in medical settings due to burdens of time, cost, risk, and resources. The purpose of this study was to test the construct validity of a regression equation developed by Jurca and colleagues (2005) to estimate CRF without exercise testing in community dwelling older adult...
متن کاملCross-validation of a non-exercise measure for cardiorespiratory fitness in Singaporean adults.
INTRODUCTION Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an independent predictor of voluminous health outcomes and can be measured using non-exercise fitness assessment (NEFA) equations. However, the accuracy of such equations in Asian populations is unknown. The objective of this study was to cross-validate the NEFA equation, developed by Jurca et al in 2005, in the adult Singaporean population. MET...
متن کاملNon-Exercise Estimated Cardiorespiratory Fitness: Associations with Brain Structure, Cognition, and Memory Complaints in Older Adults.
There is increasing evidence that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with brain structure and function, and improvements in CRF through exercise training have been associated with neural and cognitive functioning in older adults. The objectives of this study were to validate the use of a non-exercise estimate of CRF, and to examine its association with cognitive function, brain struc...
متن کاملCytokine Responses to Acute Exercise in Healthy Older Adults: The Effect of Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Markers of chronic inflammation increase with aging, and are associated with cardiovascular disease prevalence and mortality. Increases in fitness with exercise training have been associated with lower circulating concentrations of cytokines known to have pro-inflammatory actions (such as interleukin-6 [IL-6]) and higher circulating concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-10 ...
متن کاملAbdominal Adiposity, Not Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Mediates the Exercise-Induced Change in Insulin Sensitivity in Older Adults
Abdominal obesity and low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are associated with insulin resistance in older adults. Exercise is associated with improvement in insulin sensitivity. Whether this association is mediated by change in CRF and/or abdominal obesity is unclear. The current study is a secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial in Kingston, Ontario. Sedentary older adult...
