The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
if you compare someone of low fitness to elite it is a five-fold difference in mortality over a decade which is pretty remarkable and that's what they show you above they give you context they put this in the context of other things that we commonly understand as being problematic for mortality namely smoking coronary artery disease type 2 diabetes hypertension and end-stage renal disease

People in the bottom 25% for VO2 max face mortality risks matching or exceeding smokers, diabetics, and hypertensive patients
the people in that low cardiorespiratory fitness group had a mortality risk that was comparable or even worse than people with diseases that we know are clearly bad for your health like type two diabetes um like heart disease hypertension even smokers
However, a low cardiorespiratory fitness actually predicted better. So in fact, people with a low cardiorespiratory fitness had a lower life expectancy than even people with type two diabetes or even people smoking.
