Socioeconomic status, non-communicable disease risk factors, and walking speed in older adults: multi-cohort population based study – The BMJ (free)

“New work in @bmj_latest shows poverty increases ageing. Measured by walking speed. 60 y.o. men of lower social class walk like 66 y.o. men of higher social class. As important as physical inactivity, obesity or diabetes. Worse than smoking”. (via @astaines see Tweet)
