The non-exercise based prediction equation is widely used to predict cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), however it has not been validated for the Asian Indian population. To increase the generalisation of the equation we validated it in Asian Indians. 230 participants aged 40-75 years were recruited after excluding any medical illness. Parameters recorded were body mass index, resting heart rate and a self-reported physical activity score questionnaire. CRF was measured using metabolic equivalent at the final speed and grade of treadmill. CRF was also estimated using the non-exercise based prediction equation. The correlation of measured CRF and that calculated through the equation was 0.769 (P<0.001). Paired t-test yielded t=1.207 with a confidence interval of -0.08-0.34, indicating that the equation was statistically significant for our study population. We conclude that the non-exercise based prediction equation is valid in sedentary Asian Indians in the age group of 40-75 years.
