Gait speed in mid-life indicates how fast the brain and body are ageing, researchers found.
How fast people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains, as well as their bodies, are ageing, scientists have suggested.Not only were slower walkers' bodies ageing more quickly - their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.Doctors often measure gait speed to gauge overall health, particularly in the over-65s, because it is a good indicator of muscle strength, lung function, balance, spine strength and eyesight.
"This study found that a slow walk is a problem sign decades before old age," said Prof Terrie E Moffitt, lead author from King's College London and Duke University in the US. The more unexpected finding was that brain scans showed the slower walkers were more likely to have older-looking brains too. But they suggest there are already signs in early life of who is going to fare better in health terms in later life.
