Scientists announced the existence of a relationship between gait speed and life span: the faster one goes, the better health and higher chances of longevity, and Vice versa, slowing of gait tells about the approach of death. A similar correlation was found by the specialists of the University of southern California.
Associate Professor of the Department of biokinesiology and physical therapy Christine Deli-Conrat noticed that due to the deterioration of the man begins to walk slowly. The better health is the faster gait.
“The slowdown in the speed of gait is possible with a fairly high degree of accuracy to predict the approach of death,” said Dieli-Conrat.
Together with a group of other scientists she studied how physical parameters affect the health of women who survived breast cancer. In particular, scholars have drawn attention to the speed of the gait. They concluded that the slowing of gait may be one of the first signals that the body develops a serious illness.
“With the deterioration of illness or course of treatment for her power goes away and the person starts to walk slower. If you noticed that your gait has slowed, should go to the doctors and get tested,” the Council said Kristina Deli-Conrat.
