![]() In these older age groups (but not in the whole sample or the younger age groups), we also found there was a linearly higher reduction in the risk of early death the higher the pace. Compared to slow walkers, brisk or fast walkers aged 45-59 had 36% lower risk of early death from any cause. For example, average pace walkers aged 60 years or over experienced a 46% reduction in risk of death from cardiovascular causes, and fast walkers experienced a 53% reduction. We also found the beneficial effects of fast walking were more pronounced in older age groups. Those who reported walking at a brisk or fast pace had a 24% lower risk of early death from any cause and a 21% lower risk of death from cardiovascular causes.
