NEW YORK - OLDER people who walk more quickly are less likely to die. This is the finding of researchers who tracked the health of nearly 500 older people for almost a decade.
The study suggested that gait speed may be a good predictor of long-term survival - even in people who otherwise appear basically healthy.
