Fitness and fatness as predictors of mortality from all causes and from cardiovascular disease in men and women in the lipid research clinics study.
Stevens J, Cai J, Evenson KR, Thomas R. Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599, USA. June_Stevens@unc.edu
The relative size of the effects of fitness and fatness on longevity has been studied in only one cohort. The authors examined this issue using data from 2,506 women and 2,860 men in the Lipid Research Clinics Study. The mean age was 46.6 years in women and 45.1 years in men at baseline (1972-1976). Fitness was assessed using a treadmill test, and fatness was assessed as body mass index calculated from measured height and weight. Participants were followed for vital status through 1998. Hazard ratios were calculated using proportional hazard models that included covariates for age, education, smoking, alcohol intake, and the dietary Keys score. Fitness and fatness were both associated with mortality from all causes and from cardiovascular disease. For mortality from all causes, the adjusted hazard ratios were 1.32 among the fit-fat, 1.30 among the unfit-not fat, and 1.57 among the unfit-fat women compared with fit-not fat women. Among men the same hazard ratios were 1.25, 1.44, and 1.49 [corrected]. There were no significant interactions between fitness and fatness in either men or women. The authors conclude that both fitness and fatness are risk factors for mortality, and that being fit does not completely reverse the increased risk associated with excess adiposity.
The Master - 17 Apr 2008 14:11 GMT Study: Moderate Exercise Cuts Stroke Risk NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2008
(AP) Being merely moderately fit - walking briskly half an hour a day - can lower the risk of having a stroke, according to a new study whose findings apply to women as well as men.
Much of the previous research on stroke and fitness has been on men and relied on participants to report their physical activity, said Steven Hooker, who heads the University of South Carolina's Prevention Research Center in Columbia and led the study. About a quarter of those in the new study were women, and everyone had a treadmill test to measure his or her fitness level.
"It seems that benefits we've been observing in men for many years ... are also observed in women," Hooker said.
He said even those who were moderately fit had a lower risk of stroke. Most people can reach that fitness range by walking briskly for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, said Hooker, who presented the findings Thursday at the International Stroke Conference in New Orleans.
Stroke is the nation's third-leading cause of death. It occurswhen blood flow to the brain is stopped when a blood vessel is blocked by a clot or bursts. Hooker said physical activity can help prevent blood clots and the buildup of artery-clogging plaque.
For their research, Hooker and his colleagues used data from a study of more than 61,000 adults at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. After taking a treadmill test, the participants periodically answered health surveys. The latest research divided the group into four levels of fitness and looked at how many of them had strokes, following them an average of 18 years.
Overall, there were 692 strokes in men and 171 in women.
The study found that men in the most fit group had a 40 percent lower risk of stroke than the least fit men. The most fit women had a 43 percent reduction in their risk of stroke compared with women in the least fit group.
For moderate levels of fitness, the risk reduction ranged from 15 to 30 percent for men and 23 to 57 percent in women.
The lower risks held true even when taking into account other risk factors for stroke such as smoking, weight, high blood pressure, diabetes and family history.
Fitness is "a strong predictor of stroke risk all by itself," Hooker said.
The study's participants were mostly white, well-educated and middle-income or higher; other populations should be studied, he said. Fitness tests were only done when people entered the study so the researchers didn't know if their fitness level changed over time.
In its stroke prevention guidelines, the American Stroke Association recommends at least 30 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity on most days of the week. The new study "is certainly consistent with all of the recommendations that we already have in place," said Dr. Larry Goldstein, a spokesman for the group and director of the Stroke Center at Duke University.

Walking briskly for 30 minutes 5 days a week? Gee, I think I heard that before, about obesity mortality rates... I'm betting brisk walking is all the exercise ANYONE needs to do to stay healthy and out of the danger zones of most illness.
Stupidity, however, has no cure. Sorry trolls, there is no help for you.

Secondly, do you really think you or any other Brit fag is qualified to argue logic with anyone in the western world? Why is it that you brits are the only western country that spends millions in tax dollars each year simply to keep a family of ugly inbred morons living in the lap of luxury (royals) and yet you deny overweight TAX PAYERS necessary medical services?

Cite > your source. Obviously, the idea of mortality that is independent of BMI is unthinkable to Kenny. Studies exist that say flat out that mortality is corelated to fitness, and is INDEPENDENT of BMI. But Kenny can't wrap his brain around that.
If there was no corelation to BMI under 40, but there was a corelation with the BMI was above 40, wouldn't the studies say that? Since they don't, Kenny's brain short circuts, and smoke pours out of his ears. The assumption is that the study is flawed, Kenny cannot consider that his uneducated opinion is wrong. In his world, it's the 15 years of medical research that is flawed.

The level of fitness chosen for this study was brisk walking for two reasons that were not stated. First, it is easily measured because most people can at least walk. Measuring running ability would be impossible with 80 % of possible subjects being unable to run at all.. Second, brisk walking is an enty level of exercise and fitness- ability. If benefit could be demonstrated with the easiest rung on the exercise ladder then that would be good news worth promugating. But this says nothing about the additional huge benefits obtainable with actually being able to jog 2 or 3 miles and doing so regularly. Like reversing diabetes and hypertension, for starters. Also in the background is the fact that being fat makes it much harder to stay fit and being fit makes it much harder to stay fat. So, living as "fat but fit" is something of a lost cause over the long term in the vast majority of cases.

Actually, that's not true. The level of fitness was measured by having all of the participants take a standard treadmill fitness test and then following them for 18 years and seeing how many died from strokes. The conclusion was that performing poorly (as defined by being in the lowest quartile) on a standard treadmill fitness test was an excellent predictor for stroke victims.
At no time was "brisk walking" ever part of the experiment. The brisk walking bit is merely a personal belief from one of the study authors as to what it would take to move someone out of the lowest quartile.
He said even those who were moderately fit had a lower risk of stroke. Most people can reach that fitness range by walking briskly for 30 minutes a day, five times a week, said Hooker, who presented the findings Thursday at the International Stroke Conference in New Orleans.
Even Dr. Hooker qualifies this by saying that "most people" can reach this level of fitness with brisk walking.
> First, it is easily measured because most people can at least > walk. Measuring running ability would be impossible with 80 % of > possible subjects being unable to run at all.. That's a great theory, but that's not how treadmill fitness tests work at all. Basically the tests start out slow and at a low incline and increase both in speed and incline until the person can't continue any longer.
Here's a table showing the popular Bruce protocol.
Time (min) 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 Speed (mph) 1.7 2.5 3.4 4.2 5.0 5.5 6.0 Grade (%) 10 12 14 16 18 20 22
As you can see the test starts out a leisurely walk, but it soon speeds up to the point where a brisk walk every day won't prepare you for the strain.

The take home message is that stroke appears to be that if you can outrun someone, you are probably less likely to die of a stroke than they are. The good news is that in this particular case even a little bit of exercise appears to help a great deal. So while you don't get the 40% reduction of being in the top quartile without a significant amount of work, you can get a 15% reduction just by being able to outrun the slowest quartile.

The Master - 22 Apr 2008 15:23 GMT > Also in the background is the fact that being fat makes it much harder > to stay fit and being fit makes it much harder to stay fat. That may very well be true. But such instances do exist, where fat people remained fit. Furthermore, being skinny doesn't help all by itself, the person must also be fit. In other words, the fitness level of the subjects mattered, not the BMI.

While Doctor Blair's study didn't deal with stroke specifically, it did mention mortality in general. He found no corelation to BMI, just fitness. The second study that I mentioned about stroke also found no corelation to BMI, just fitness.
No place in either study does it say that there is no corelation to BMI if BMI is under 40, but there is a corelation to BMI if BMI is over 40. Since there is no mention of a corelation, there is no corelation.
Your requested "cites" are two medical studies that have already been posted, and a basic statistics class. Your continued insistance that there is a corelation, even though one has yet to be found, is very telling, somewhat disturbing, but very funny.
I'm sure you will now bitch, moan, and complain, just like you always do...

In other words, not everyone is attracted to the same people as you are. I'm even sure some people who like skinny women won't think all the ones you like are attractive. Some people like Sarah Jessica Parker, others think she is ugly. I think she's an ugly dude in a dress...
As for my quick look at the page you mentioned, I'm even sure there are guys who like BBWs who would have different opinions about the ones I mentioned.

Kenny just doesn't have anything of substance to come back with so he makes it up as he goes along in the hopes that his troll buddies will be stupid enough to join in.
I also suspect that he makes fun of the people in those pics out of jealousy simply because he has most likely never been invited to any type of social event in his pathetic life.

Now, prove that there is a corelation for those above 40, stupid Kenny. No corelation means no corelation. That's my proof. Now, prove me wrong. Go ahead, do it! You can't, can you? Tuff luck, you lose...
