“…Our study provides novel evidence regarding the association of fitness with respiratory disease; COPD specifically. Previous prospective studies have reported a negative association between physical activity and COPD [21][22][23] but this is, to our knowledge, the first study to report an association with fitness. This is an important novel finding since COPD represents an increasing public health burden globally, and is in the top five leading cause of mortality worldwide.…”

“…The clinical significance of obesity (management) in CF needs to be determined. Using data on anthropometric measurements and physical activity from 113 279 participants in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study, including 3648 new COPD diagnoses, BEHRENS et al [11] showed that the incidence of COPD was higher in both severely obese (BMI >35 kg·m −2 ) and underweight (BMI <18.5 kg·m −2 ) participants, but after adjustment for waist circumference this only remained significant for underweight subjects. A larger waist circumference and higher waist-hip ratio were also positively associated with COPD.…”
