Nonexercise Equations for Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Older Adults using Body Roundness Index and Waist Circumference
Equations using WC and BRI perform better for estimating CRF than equations using body mass index and resting heart rate in an inactive older adult population. These equations could be used to screen participants during study enrollment when specific estimates of CRF are desired for the study sample. However, these equations should be validated for use in clinical populations to stratify disease risk.
