Study link: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2752818 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle... The study was done in NZ in Dunedin. I wonder how much difference/coorelation there is between locales. I've found that Wellingtonians walk very fast in general - I thought I was a fast walker always passing people in San Francisco, but when I moved to Wellington everybody was passing me.

Interesting. I always thought fast walking was related to city size. In average towns I'm a fast walker, when I go to medium cities I'm an average walker, and in London I'm a slow walker. I wonder if it's another correlated factor? Usage of public transport?

It's amazing that the Dunedin Study is still producing results like this. I wonder why longitudinal studies are not more common now, given that these 900 people have been such a deep source of knowledge.
