Walking Pace May Offer Longevity Clues in 4,067 Adults

Buzzline

Fox News reports on research published in JAMA Network Open that followed 4,067 adults in the UK, whose average age was about 69, to examine whether usual walking pace was linked to survival. Participants completed a short test at their normal pace and wore wrist activity trackers for nine days. Across nearly 12 years, faster walking in both settings was linked to lower risk of death. Experts emphasize that the findings show an association, not proof, and that walking speed can reflect overall health.

00:30They also did supervised aerobic and strength training twice a week.

00:34Remission meant an HbA1c below 6.5% for at least 12 weeks without diabetes medication.

00:40None of the participants used insulin.

00:43Only 10% of participants missed the final evaluations.

00:46Patients attended a median of 17 out of 20 supervised gym sessions.
