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."
