VO₂ Max test with Quark CPET: the key to longevity
VO₂max is one of the best predictors of longevity, and we measure it using the COSMED Quark CPET. During the TV program 60 Minutes (CBS network), Norah O'Donnell was shown how VO₂max is linked to longevity.
Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest indicators of long-term health, even more predictive than cholesterol or blood pressure. VO₂ max reflects the body’s ability to use oxygen efficiently, essentially measuring the size of a person’s "engine." A higher VO₂ max correlates with a longer, healthier life.
Norah O'Donnell became a patient for the day and experienced firsthand how data-driven metabolic testing is transforming our understanding of fitness and longevity. She also highlighted that exercise is the most powerful tool to delay both physical and cognitive decline.
VO₂ max testing with the COSMED Quark CPET helps patients train for their "marginal decade," ensuring not just a longer life, but a stronger, more capable one.
