abstract = {Available large-scale prospective studies on adiposity and asthma used body mass index as an
indicator of adiposity.
 Studies involving more accurate measures of adiposity, such as body
fat percentage (BF%), are needed to confirm or contrast body mass index - related results.
Cardiorepiratory fitness is a strong predictor of morbidity and mortality,
 and the available
literature suggests that moderate-high cardiorespiratory fitness reduces many of the health
hazards associated with obesity.
 The present study aimed: 1) to examine whether
cardiorespiratory fitness and/or BF% are associated with subsequent acquisition of asthma in
adults; and 2) to test the hypothesis that a high cardiorespiratory fitness level can reduce the
risk of incident asthma in individuals with excess adiposity.},
