A Faster Pace, a Healthier Brain? New Study Points to Link in Older Adults — Health
A study by the American Academy of Neurology has found that walking speed may be a key indicator of healthy aging, although it is not a treatment or guarantee against dementia. The study, which included adults 80 and older, found that those who walked significantly faster than their peers had about half the observed risk of developing cognitive impairment over several years of follow-up. The fastest participants were identified as “super movers” whose usual walking speed was at least 1.5 standard deviations above the average for people of the same age and sex. The findings add to research examining whether mobility can be a marker of how well the brain and body are aging. However, a slower pace does not mean a person will develop dementia. Federal health guidelines recommend that adults 65 and older get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week.
