Lead author, Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre and School of Public Health said the study emphasises the value of exerting the body to improve health. The findings are published in the published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. There was no association found between walking pace and cancer mortality. The older the person, the greater was the association, with the reduced risk rising to more than 50 per cent for those aged 60 years and over. A similar result was found for risk of cardiovascular disease mortality, with a reduction of 24 per cent walking at an average pace and 21 per cent walking at a brisk or fast pace, compared to walking at a slow pace.
