Celis-Morales CA, et al. - Using Cox proportional hazard models, researchers assessed the relationship between usual walking pace and a range of health outcomes by analyzing data of 318,185 UK Biobank participants (54% women) aged 40-69 years. Outcomes included all-cause mortality as well as incidence and mortality from cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer. They investigated these associations using Cox proportional hazard models. They did not find associations for all-cause cancer, colorectal, and breast cancer; however, brisk walking was related to a higher risk of prostate cancer. Findings suggested an association of walking pace with lower risk of a wide range of important health conditions, independently of overall time spent walking.
