Sat, 29 December 2007 Fitness, Fatness, and Health It's time for those New Year's resolutions. For many people that means another attempt at weight loss. This week on Fitness Rocks I thought it would be appropriate to review another recent study looking at the relationship between fitness, fatness, and the overall risk of poor health and premature death from all causes. A study from the December 5, 2007 issue of JAMA looked at the impact on our health status of fitness as measured during exercise testing and fatness as assessed by BMI, waist circumference, and percent body fat. Understanding the data from this study will help you shape better, more achievable goals for the New Year, and the rest of your life. |
