Body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness in mid-life and risk of heart failure hospitalization in older age: findings from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study. JACC Heart Fail. 2017;5(5):367–74. This paper was instrumental in demonstrating that the risk of heart failure with higher body mass index is significantly attenuated by cardiorespiratory fitness, so much so that after adjusting for cardiorespiratory fitness in mid-life, the risk of HF due to BMI becomes non-significant.
