Yes, new studies proved that.

That is really fascinating! Thank you Fares F. Fares

It can improve physical fitness but not cause of longer life.

Yes of course, you can read this article.....

Simply - yes

So it is considered.

I think walking speed is an important sign of the overall health.

Great

No, but makes you healthy...

Walking can offer numerous health benefits to people of all ages and fitness levels. It may also help prevent certain diseases and even prolong your life.

Yes, it also indicates a healthy physical status if someone can walk @ 100 pace/min for 40 min without any remarkable problem.

May be, Yes

New findings from a longitudinal study of just over 900 New Zealanders that started out back in the 1970s has observed that human beings in their 40s who walk with a sluggish gait are extra probable to exhibit signs and symptoms of accelerated biological growing old and compromised Genius integrity.

The answer is "Yes". Please see the below given link.

Definitely it does. Since its keeps you healthy.

Walking faster is to keep & maintain a healthy life. However, it cannot be mode with the long life as longevity & life of every human being is not under our control as with the arrival on this earth our destiny has already been decided & not in our hands.

This is my personal opinion

In my opinion the studies about thelonger life expectancy of the people walking faster, are very nice. I think it is more important, that it will have a positive effect/help on healthy living.

Maybe!

Walking is good for health, but it has nothing to do with human age.

I think so.

Well , brisk walking is always good for health but walking slower has not so good effects... I did not know that . I will try walking faster although I read somewhere that jogging (5 mins)and walking (5 mins) intermittently is good ...

May be, but walking slower and longer does it for sure.

People who walk faster are more likely to live longer regardless of their weight. That's according to a study scientists say suggests fitness levels might be a better indicator of health than an individual's body mass index (BMI).

Researchers in the U.K. looked at data on 474,919 people who took part in the U.K. Biobank study between March 13, 2006, and January 31, 2016. The participants answered whether their usual walking pace was slow, steady/average or brisk. Researchers also measured factors including the participants' BMI (calculated by dividing an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared), their waist circumference, and body-fat percentage. On average, the participants were 58.2 years old and had a BMI of 26.7, landing them in the overweight category.

Participants who said they walked briskly had longer life expectancies than the others regardless of their BMI, at 86.7 to 87.8 years for women and 85.2 to 86.8 years for men. Meanwhile, those who walked slowly had shorter life expectancies, particularly those who said they moved slowly and had a BMI of less than 20, even though this was in the healthy range. Women in this group had an average life expectancy of 72.4 years, dropping to 64.8 years for men.

The authors of the study published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings concluded: "Brisk walkers were found to have longer life expectancies, which was constant across different levels and indices of adiposity." Adiposity means being severely or morbidly overweight.

But more research must be done to look at whether the "high-risk" slowest paced low BMI group could improve their life expectancies by boosting their fitness, and whether walking pace could predict an individual's risk of disease, the authors noted.

Tom Yates, a lead author of the study and professor of physical activity, sedentary behavior and health at the University of Leicester, told Newsweek scientists have extensively investigated the role of excess body weight on a person's life expectancy over the past few decades. Studies from several countries have shown the risk of an overweight or obese person dying is lower if their fitness is higher.

"Most of these studies reported the beneficial effect of fitness in terms of relative risk reduction, for example 20 percent reduction of risk of death. Relative estimates, though, are difficult to interpret," he said.

To answer the "fit vs fat" question, the team opted for walking pace because it is a "good measure of general fitness and overall physical function," according to Yates.

The team were surprised that the lowest life expectancy was seen in those who were underweight with a slow walking pace. "This is in contrast to assumption that is often made that obesity confers the most risk," said Yates. "In fact, many other studies have also reported an elevated risk of mortality in those who are underweight, although ours is the first to investigate this in relation to walking pace."

However, he cautioned as the study was observational it didn't show causation between walking and life expectancy.

Hi,

It would be an oversimplification to believe that the manner one moves his/her body triggers such amazing, cumulative, pan-corporeal benefits that lead to optimal weight and ultimately - to a longer life.

Also important (if not even more so) are:

- one's genetics (e.g. tissue ageing, type of metabolism, blood glucose levels, blood pressure, type of predominant adipose tissue)

- the quality and oxygen composition of the air one breaths (i.e. city vs. countryside vs. mountain)

- what one gives his/her body as an energy and purification source (i.e. food, drinks)

- the absence of molds, harmful bacteria, other irritants/ inflammatory factors

- the amount of anxiety one feels on a daily basis

- the intellectual and mental approach to life's challenges one has (e.g. meditation, laughter, hobbies, keeping one's mind occupied and agile regardless of age)

- family support and social circumstances

- absence of systemic or life threatening/ changing disease

There is no single recipe for long life, as everyone has different anatomy, physiology and life circumstances.

The key is to study, understand and "listen" to what you have been endowed with by nature.

Then, find the "golden mean" of the items from the above list that works for you in particular. :)

People who report that they have a slower walking pace have a lower life expectancy than fast walkers, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Leicester Biomedical Research Centre - a partnership between Leicester's Hospitals, the University of Leicester and Loughborough University.

The research, using data from the UK Biobank of 474,919 people recruited within the UK, found those with a habitually fast walking pace have a long life expectancy across all levels of weight status - from underweight to morbidly obese. Underweight individuals with slow walking years for pace had the lowest life expectancy (an average of 64.8 years for men, 72.4 years for women). The same pattern of results was found for waist circumference measurements.

This is the first time research has associated fast walking pace with a longer life expectancy regardless of a person's body weight or obesity status.

Could be.

Researchers say a quick walking pace is a good cardiovascular workout. Taking a brisk walk could increase your odds of living longer, and it doesn't matter how much you weigh .Jun 20, 2019
