The relation to total body mass (TBM) leads to an underestimation of CRF in people with obesity and to inappropriate prognostic and therapeutic decisions.

Methods Two hundred eleven participants (58.8% women; mean BMI 35.7 kg/m2 [±6.94; 20.7‐58.6]) were clinically examined, and body composition (InBody720; InBody Co …
