    The elderly population is constantly increasing in number, and the aging process carries with it a decrease in physical abilities, an increase in body mass and an increased risk of non-contagious ... diseases. This study was carried out with the aim of determining a connection between fitness and BMI and arterial blood pressure among men from an urban environment. The sample of participants included 414 men over the age of 65, living on the territory of the city of Nis. The set of predictor variables used to evaluate physical fitness consisted of the Senior Fitness Test and BMI. The criterion variables included systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The results of the study have shown that there is a statistically significant connection between fitness and BMI and systolic blood pressure (p< .05; p= .005). Based on the results, we can conclude that an increase in BMI among elderly men will result in an increase in systolic blood pressure. Also, elderly men with higher values of systolic blood pressure have lower cardiorespiratory fitness and decreased power of the lower extremities.
