The article says the American Medical Assosiation reveals the latest study resolt that elder people who walk faster(one meter per second or higher) will live longer than others who walk slowly.The Because a speed of walking has big connection with their helth conditions. To be able to walk fast, your heart,lungs,muscles,and all these body parts has to be healthy. In other words,elders who walk slowly might has some medical problem at one of their body parts.
I totally agree with what they've found from this study.
Actually,my grandma is very fast-walker. she is always as if chasing someone.
But she is very healthy compared to people in her age. She is near 80,but she walk at a snappy pace.So, I thought what this article says is true and also, this research result can be one of the easy way to enable elders to know their health condition.
I agree that's it's better to walk fast. I know from the treadmills I used to use at the gym that I burned calories when I walked fast &/or uphill, but slow walking did nothing. That's lucky for me, because I prefer to walk fast too.
