Researchers have made a connection between walking speed and lifespan. A study found that people who walk at a certain pace may lower their risk of early death, even if they take fewer steps. This pace is around 90 to 100 steps per minute.

The study looked at how many steps people take each day and their fastest walking speed. It found that taking more steps is associated with living longer.

Further details about the study's findings are available, including how walking speed and step count affect mortality risk.
