Fast pedestrians and walking slowly, who lives more long?
Walking can affect the ability to live longevity
A study by the University of Leicester (UK) published on The Journal Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases shows that fast pedestrians are more likely to live and have a lower risk of heart disease and cancer than these than these.Slow pedestrians.
To get this conclusion, scientists have monitored the health of nearly 400,000 British average age of 57 within 12 years.They are classified into groups at walking speed: fast, slow and medium.Specifically, fast pedestrians are more than 6.4km/hour, slow walking below 4.8km/hour and average walking 4.8-6.4km/hour.During the research period, 22,413 people died.Accordingly, fast pedestrians are at a risk of cancer deaths less than 25%, due to cardiovascular disease lower than 60% and due to any other cause is 70% lower than those who are slow.Analysis shows that the risk of death is most significantly reduced in people over 75 years old.
The research authors said: “Compared to slow, fast and average pedestrians, the mortality rates related to cardiovascular disease, cancer and other causes are lower than the group.again.Therefore, walking speed can be considered as a sign of cardiovascular forecast as well as the risk of death due to other causes. ”
Dr. Jonathan Goldney of Leicester University, the main author of the study recommended: “Everyone should increase the walking speed if possible because this will help improve life expectancy as well as help achieve many physical benefits.other.Doctors should also consider more questions about pedestrian speed for patients to have a strategy to prevent early death and the risk of many diseases. ”
