US EditionWalking for Health? A Faster Pace Improves Benefits
12 SOUTHEASTERN US STATES, JUL 29 – A study of nearly 80,000 adults shows brisk walking reduces early death risk by 20%, mainly from cardiovascular causes, even in low-income and Black communities.
- Researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine reported that ramping up the daily walking pace is linked to a 20% reduction in early death risk, according to July 29, 2025 data.
- Publishing in the journal PLOS One, researchers noted limited research on walking pace effects among low-income Black populations, highlighting a significant research gap.
- In the cohort of 79,856 participants from 12 states, scientists linked the protective effect of fast walking to all causes of death, most notably cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure.
- Public health campaigns and community-based programmes should emphasise fast walking and provide resources and support, as Liu said, recommending just 15 minutes of brisk walking daily.
- Looking ahead, support programmes may boost walking pace in neighborhoods, linked to a 20% reduction in early death risk, scientists say.
