A cohort of more than 122,000 adults undergoing exercise treadmill testing found cardiorespiratory fitness among the strongest predictors of survival researchers measured, with no upper limit of benefit.

A pooled analysis of more than 1.3 million adults found both short and long sleep duration associated with higher mortality, a U-shaped pattern. We explain why the two ends of that curve do not mean the same thing.
