Older Men: To Outpace Death Need To Walk At This Speed...
Dear Reader,
Here's a quirky little tidbit for you. An offbeat Australian study has calculated the grim reaper's walking speed... and the speed men need to walk at to outpace him.
It seems that those who walk at least 3 miles per hour live longer than those
who move at a slower pace according to the study.
Earlier work has found that the speed an older person walks helps predict how long they can live - slower walking speeds in old age have been associated to a higher death risk. Faster strides have been linked to a longer life.
Older adults who pick up the pace appear to be healthier and more fit than those who move more slowly. As a result of this, walking speed is a common measure of physical ability doctors use in older people.
The grim reaper is a familiar fictional symbol of death that the Sydney based Concord Hospital team focused on, working to predict the likely walking pace of this strange, skeletal figure. By knowing how fast he walked, they would be able to tell you how much faster you'd need to go to get away from him.
To arrive at this figure, what the scientists did was examine data from over 1,700 healthy Australian men who were 70 years old, or older, participating in the CHAMP (Concord Health and Aging in Men Project). About half were born in Australia, another 20% were Italian and the remainder came from a variety of other nations. Each subject was asked to walk at their natural pace for about 20 feet, and was clocked two times over this distance, with the best time recorded.
During the five-year study period, 266 men died, and when the team looked at the walking speed of these subjects, they were able to estimate the pace of the grim reaper, that is, death. A pace about 1.8 miles an hour (or less) will have you meeting him, as this is the speed at which he prefers to walk.

Older Men: To Outpace Death Need To Walk At This Speed... Continued...
Older men who could walk faster than 2 miles an hour were 1.23 times less likely
to meet death. Those who had the biggest lead on the reaper were those who walked
the fastest. All 22 of the subjects who walked the fastest, at least 3 miles
an hour, were still alive five years later.
We know that walking is good for you, and there's an amazing amount of research
to back this up. Walking brings big drops in the risk of diseases such as diabetes
and heart disease, as well as reducing high blood pressure, increasing bone density
and so much more.
What worries many in the medical field is that the percentage of adults who spend
most of their day in a chair went from 36.8% in 2000 to 39.8% back in 2005 -
one can only imagine how high the number is now. Fewer than half of us do enough
exercise to get any benefit. Inactivity it seems, has become an expected part
of our modern lives - remote controls, riding mowers, snow blowers, as well as
the disappearance of safe places to walk have all played a part.
The thing is, inactivity is a preventable cause of death... and walking is an
easy way to get up, get active.
To your good health,
