Prevention CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS REDUCES THE RISK OF WEIGHT-ASSOCIATED COMORBIDITIES AND ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY IN PAST SMOKERS Moderated Poster Contributions Prevention Moderated Poster Theater, Poster Area, South Hall A1 Sunday, April 03, 2016, 4:15 p.m.-4:25 p.m. Session Title: Fitness and Cardiac Rehabilitation: Can You Outrun Your CVD Risk? Abstract Category: 33. Prevention: Clinical Presentation Number: 1247M-05 Authors: Nora Sydo, Tibor Sydó, Karina G. Carta, Joseph Murphy, Bela Merkely, Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, Thomas Allison, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA, Heart and Vascular Center, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary Background: Smoking is a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, but quitting may cause weight gain and increase in comorbidities. Our aim was to study if better functional aerobic capacity (FAC) on a stress test is associated with lower risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and all-cause death in past smokers.
Methods: Past smokers without CVD who had an exercise test from 1993-2010 were divided into 3 groups by fitness: 1) FAC<80%, 2) 80
All-cause Mortality 6% 10%2 14% 9%4 7%5
