Does anyone have a link to the chart described at the bottom of the article?

Not sure if it's globally visible, but the paper is here: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025619614011367# http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0025619614... Figure 1 is the money plot. In short, FIT scores below 0 show survival percentages that drop roughly linearly from ~90% down to 25% at a FIT of -200. Above a FIT of 0, survival percentages rise roughly linearly to near 100%. TL;DR: you want your FIT score to be better than 0.

  FIT Treadmill Score = MPHR + 12(METs) - 4(age) + (43 pts bonus for being female). Note if you are 50 years old male, your age docks you 200 points off the top! so you start at -200, then assume you "DO" reach your maximal heartrate (acc to "220-age" ) then you are still at -100 for mortality. Only your METs, can then push your FIT number to a value greater than zero (if the MET number is > 9). Does anyone know what unit the METs are measured in for this "FIT" metric? wikipedia indicates MET values of activities range from 0.9 (sleeping) to 23 (running at 22.5 km/h or a 4:17 mile pace). I have never run at a 4:17 pace. So it is these elite athletes whose MET numbers (times 12) enable them to score so high on this "FIT" metric. The average joe will only get a MET around 7 i'd imagine, bringing the MET contribution to around 84 points only. having said that, the survival curve FLATTENS out above zero "FIT" score. so elite/high METs contributions to the "FIT" score beyond zero will not necessarily increase survival, but it does imply less chance of cardio being cause of death.

  Or, hypothetically, an unscrupulous person could go to r/scholar, check the right sidebar for the link to libgen, and search by the DOI, which in this case is 10.1016/j.mayocp.2014.12.013 ...but I'm sure nobody here would stoop to such things.
