Your health, good or bad, can be measured by your walking speed, according to researchers at the Duke University. Check out this new study:
The study is free and easy to join. Simply download the 6th Vital Sign mobile app free from the iTunes Store, answer a few questions, and take a two-minute walk. Participants can get useful information about their own walking speed, and also be part of a bigger study that establishes walking speed norms across ages, genders, ZIP Codes, and countries.
