Is it true that in the HUNT study in Norway, higher cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization?

Yes. Two peer-reviewed HUNT study reports (48,821-48,823 Norwegian adults) found that participants in the highest estimated cardiorespiratory fitness quintile had significantly lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalization (IRR 0.54, 95% CI 0.34-0.86) than the lowest quintile.
