Abstract

BackgroundDespite well-established associations between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and long-term cardiovascular disease risk, CRF remains underused in clinical practice. With a growing emphasis on longer-term risk, developments to UK cardiovascular disease risk equations such as the Joint Briti...

However, unlike the US LifetimeRisk model, the JBS3 algorithm does not include CRF as a risk variable. The aim of this study was to examine whether differences in CRF values are reflected in long-term cardiovascular disease risk prediction scores using a risk equation that includes CRF in the design (LifetimeRisk) and one that does not (JBS3).MethodsA retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was performed on 81 male steelworkers who participated in the second phase of the Prosiect Sir G&#xE2;r workplace-based cardiovascular disease risk assessment initiative in Carmarthenshire, Wales. CRF was calculated with a validated and reliable submaximal protocol based on heart rate responses (Chester Step Test). Between-group CRF differences (excellent or good vs average or below average) were determined by independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test, and any association between CRF and individual risk scores investigated by Pearson's correlation.FindingsMen in the lower CRF categories had greater body-mass index scores than men in the higher CRF categories (p=0&#xB7;001); and less desirable blood lipid profiles with higher total cholesterol (p=0&#xB7;041) and non-HDL cholesterol (p=0&#xB7;019) concentrations. The predicted long-term cardiovascular disease risk in the LifetimeRisk model was also greater in the lower fitness group than higher fitness group (mean 13&#xB7;6% [SD 2&#xB7;9] vs 7&#xB7;2 [1&#xB7;9], p&lt;0&#xB7;0001), and a negative correlation was evident between individual CRF values and predicted risk scores (r=&#x2013;0&#xB7;603, p&lt;0&#xB7;0001). However, there were no differences between CRF groups in predicted JBS3 lifetime risk (median 79 years [IQR 77&#x2013;80] vs 79 [78&#x2013;80], p=0&#xB7;354).InterpretationThese preliminary observations demonstrate that the LifetimeRisk prediction scores more accurately represent the current literature between CRF and longer-term cardiovascular disease risk in a group of white men.
