Higher ClinFIT scores moderately correlated with higher American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (p &lt;0.001), CPET physiological vulnerability\/risk (p =0.013), and prehabilitation multidisciplinary risk ratings (p &lt;0.001). ClinFIT showed strong inverse correlations with self-reported functional capacity on the Duke Activity Status Index (p &lt;0.001) and participation (CIQ-R total score) (p &lt;0.001). ClinFIT did not correlate significantly with LoS, procedure-focused surgical risk indices, nutrition screening, or socioeconomic disadvantage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ClinFIT showed strong associations with participation, functional capacity, and selected preoperative vulnerability measures in this colorectal cancer prehabilitation cohort.
