    Self-reported physical fitness (SRPF) predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a study of 3248 participants over a mean follow-up of 9.9 years.

  • 2

    Higher baseline SRPF correlates with significantly lower risks of mortality, with the highest SRPF class showing a hazard ratio of 0.14 for cardiovascular mortality.

  • 3

    The association between SRPF and mortality remains significant after adjusting for various confounders, including age, sex, and comorbidities.

  • 4

    Participants with higher SRPF exhibited lower systolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, and inflammatory markers, indicating better cardiovascular health.

  • 5

    The study suggests incorporating SRPF assessments into routine medical check-ups to promote physical activity and improve cardiovascular health.
