Insane study: Slow walkers may be more likely to die from ‘Covid’. There are people in psychiatric wards for less

People who walk slowly may be almost four times more likely to die from coronavirus, and be potentially more than twice at risk of contracting severe Covid-19, researchers say.

Those who walk slowly and are a normal weight could be almost 2.5 times more likely to develop severe Covid-19 and 3.75 times more likely to die from the virus than normal-weight fast walkers, according to a new study.

Slow walking was considered to be at a speed of less than three miles per hour, steady/average speed was three to four miles per hour, or brisk at more than four miles per hour.

The study of 412,596 middle-aged UK Biobank participants examined the relative association of body mass index (BMI) and self-reported walking pace with the risk of contracting severe Covid-19 and mortality. Tom Yates, lead researcher for the study and a professor of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and health at the University of Leicester said: “We know already that obesity and frailty are key risk factors for Covid-19 outcomes.
