From a Vienna colleague:

snip:
"Did
you ever notice that you walk faster than your friends, or are you
the one lagging behind? Your walking speed doesn’t only reveal how
fast you walk; it can predict survival and the “slowing down
process” and – according to a recent study – it can tell how old
you are in terms of your physical fitness. If you are highly
educated, or work in a non-manual job, you could be up to 15 years
younger when it comes to your “walking age”—the age you are
supposed to be according to your physical performance."
