People walking slowly are more likely to die from Covid-19

Leicester based researchers have come on to a conclusion that slow speed walkers with average weight were more likely to die from ongoing covid 19 outbreaks than brisk walkers.

The data collected from these researches were based on more than 400,000 middle-aged people.

Prof Tom Yates who was the lead researcher self-reported that walking pace could be used to predict the level of risk from the virus.

This whole study was performed by the National Institute for Health Research, and it was designed to explore relationships between body mass index and walking pace associated with the risk of contracting Covid-19 infection and mortality.

It is also used to self-reported data from around 412,596 people who participate in this study.

Why is the UK's death rate becoming worse?

One of the main reasons behind this is the number of vulnerable people who urged to get a Covid vaccine. Most of the Women in UK were more anxious and worked over time during this pandemic. Walking with slow speed was considered at a speed which is less than 5 km per hour, whereas average speed of an individual was 6 km per hour, and brisk walkers at more than 6 km per hour.

Slow walkers are 2.5 times more likely to develop severe Covid-19 and risk was even higher in normal weight slow walkers and with obesity.
