AIMS: Cardiorespiratory fitness is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Both red cell distribution width (RDW) and inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) have been shown to predict adverse outcomes in patients with heart disease.METHODS: We utilized pooled data from NHANES 1999-2004 to assess cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults 12-49 years old using submaximal exercise. The primary outcome was the estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Low fitness was defined as VO2max13%) was encountered in 20.4% subjects with low fitness as compared to 14.0% subjects in the control group (p0.5mg/dL) was found among 17.4% subjects with low fitness as compared to 12.4% subjects in the control group (p
