Research we’re watching
People who walk at a brisk clip may live longer than those who walk slowly — regardless of how much they weigh, a new study finds.
Researchers looked at data from nearly 475,000 adults in the United Kingdom Biobank study, which recruited middle-aged participants from 2006 to 2010. The participants, most of whom were slightly overweight, were asked to describe their usual walking pace as slow, average, or brisk.
