Fast walkers may live longer than dawdlers – regardless of their weight, a 2019 study suggests.⁠ Researchers at Leicester University analyzed data on 474,919 people with an average age of 52 in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2016.⁠ ⁠ They found women who walked briskly had a life expectancy of 86.7 to 87.8 years, and men who kept up the pace had a life expectancy of 85.2 to 86.8. Slow walkers had much bleaker prospects: women had a life expectancy of 72.4 years, and men of 64.8 years, if they were more leisurely in their movements.⁠ ⁠ _____⁠ ⁠ Source: Leicester University⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #walkingfast #fastwalkers #fitness #science #biology
