Running from Death: Can Fitness Outpace Alcohol’s Harm? Changes in Alcohol Intake, Fitness and All-Cause Mortality in the HUNT Study, Norway
Increased alcohol intake over the years was associated with an increased risk of mortality. A change in cardiorespiratory fitness was a better predictor of mortality, and maintaining fitness above the lowest 20% for one's age and sex attenuated the association between a change in alcohol intake and all-cause mortality.
