Grammar
Unfit = underweight?
Context:
One study of more than 900 women with chest pain found that those who were unfit were much more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those who were overweight. But the other, a study of more than 37,000 healthy nurses, found that being fit did little to reduce the huge risk that overweight women face of developing diabetes.
I think "unfit = underweight" here, because there is a counterpart -- overweight in the sentence too.
