Look at that spectrum, right?

Almost a 65-year spectrum.

And within that, 175,000 people or so died.

So if it held up against 15,000, then it held up against 150,000, and now it's holding up against 750,000.

I just don't know how much more evidence one would need to see to believe not only in this as an actual finding,

But the relative risk ratio seems to be lining up across all these studies as pretty similar.

And so what they found in this, again, same idea.

They found no reduced benefit of extreme fitness.

In other words, the higher the VO2 max, just the higher the risk reduction.

There seemed to be no upper limit there.

And in addition, what they found was a couple of metrics.

So if you take into account what are called the comorbidities, and so you look at things like diabetes.

Diabetes in this particular study took their risk factor from 1 to 1.34.

So that's a big deal.

However, going from the highest fitness level to the next highest fitness level,

represented an increase of risk of 1.66.

So again, I'm not saying that diabetes is okay or anything like that.

Again, I'm not a medical doctor and I don't do really anything with disease, but just look how staggering this is.

And in fact, if you run this all the way out, examples in this paper and here I'm looking at

a figure two, by the way, in case you want to go look yourself.
