意义

Self-reported Walking Pace（SRWP） – a measure of physical function – has been shown to be associated with objectively measured walking speed, functional mobility, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and is a powerful discriminator and predictor of CVD- and all-cause mortality, with associations also observed for cancer and COVID-19 mortality.  Importantly SRWP has also shown to be causally associated with cardiometabolic health and biological ageing, making it a potentially modifiable predictor of future health risks and an important target for public health campaigns and interventions.

测量

Participants were asked to answer the following question: “How would you describe your usual walking pace? Slow; Steady/Average; Brisk; None of the above; Prefer not to answer”.

Further information was available to participants to define a slow pace as <3 miles per hour (mph); a steady/average pace as 3–4 mph; and a brisk pace as >4 mph.
