| Core Tip |
Whether rigorous physical trainings including endurance and resistance exercises for professional young adults in armed forces associated with well or poor cardiovascular outcomes in their middle ages is unknown. In addition, several unhealthy factors such as cigarette smoking and depressive mood are prevalent among arm forces, which may affect the physical performance and increase the risk of hospitalization for severe illness. In this case, we will investigate the association of cardiorespiratory fitness with hospitalization events in a retrospective armed forces cohort consisting of about 4000 professional military members aged 18-50 years in Eastern Taiwan for more than 10 years. |
