Higher VO2 Max is generally associated with better cardiovascular fitness and overall health.
While there is a strong correlation between higher VO2 max and reduced risk of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, it's important to note that many factors contribute to overall longevity and all-cause mortality.
Regular exercise and maintaining good cardiovascular fitness, of which VO2 max is a measure, are important components of a healthy lifestyle that can contribute to a longer and healthier life.
However, genetics, diet, lifestyle choices, and access to healthcare also play significant roles in determining longevity and overall health.
So, while having a higher VO2 max can be beneficial for health and may contribute to longevity, it's just one piece of the puzzle, and a holistic approach to health and wellness is essential.
