Instructions
A  recent  study  reveals  that  the  ability  to  walk  quickly  in  old  age  is  an  indicator  of  a  long  life.  The  report  examined  results  from  recent  research.  The    in  the  research  were  tested  on  a  regular    over  an  extended  period  of  time.  The  researchers  focused  on  the  relationship  between  walking  speed  in  the  post  sixty-five  age  group  and  longevity.  They  concluded  that  there  was  a  direct  correlation  between  walking  speed  and  life  span.
A  key  researcher  gave  the  explanation  that  this  link  exists    walking  involves  the  use  of  many  bodily  functions  working  in  unison.  The  heart,  lungs,  skeletal  system,  joints,  muscles,  nerves  and  brain  have  to  work  together  in  order  to  ensure  a  consistent  speed.  Damage  to  any  of  these  systems  may  mean  a  much  slower  walking  speed    could  signal  medical  problems.
