Abstract

Cardiorespiratory fitness and fatness (central obesity) are purported to be mediating factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS), and consequent cardiovascular disease (CVD)/mortality risk. The recently developed fitness-fatness index (FFI) combines these and has been reported to be a better indicator of CVD and all-cause mortality risk, beyond the capacity of either fitness or fatness alone.
