Purpose Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is known to be directly related to fat-free mass (FFM), therefore, it has been suggested that normalizing CRF to FFM ((V) over dotO(2peakFFM)) may be the most accurate expression of CRF as related to exercise performance and cardiorespiratory function. However, the influence of (V) over dotO(2peakFFM)(mL.kg FFM-1.min(-1)) on predicting mortality has been largely unexplored. This study aimed to primarily assess the relationship between (V) over dotO(2peakFFM)and all-cause and disease-specific mortality risk in apparently healthy adults. Further, this study sought to compare the predictive ability of (V) over dotO(2peakFFM)to (V) over dotO(2peak)normalized to total body weight ((V) over dotO(2peakTBW)) for mortality outcomes. Methods Participants included 2905 adults (1555 men, 1350 women) who completed a cardiopulmonary exercise test between 1970 and 2016 to determine CRF. Body composition was assessed using the skinfold method to estimate FFM. Cardiorespiratory fitness was expressed as (V) over dotO(2peakTBW)and (V) over dotO(2peakFFM). Participants were followed for 19.0 +/- 11.7 yr after their cardiopulmonary exercise test for mortality outcomes. Cox-proportional hazard models were performed to determine the relationship of (V) over dotO(2peakFFM) with mortality outcomes. Parameter estimates were assessed to compare the predictive ability of CRF expressed as (V) over dotO(2peakTBW)and (V) over dotO(2peakFFM). Results Overall, (V) over dotO(2peakFFM) was inversely related to all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality, with a 16.2%, 8.4%, and 8.0% lower risk per 1 mL.kg FFM-1.min(-1)i mprovement, respectively (P< 0.01). Further, assessment of the parameter estimates showed (V) over dotO(2peakFFM) to be a significantly stronger predictor of all-cause mortality than (V) over dotO(2peakTBW) (parameter estimates, -0.49 vs -0.16). Conclusions Body composition is an important factor when considering the relationship between CRF and mortality risk. Clinicians should consider normalizing CRF to FFM when feasible, because it will strengthen the predictive power of the measure.
