A new study suggests that older adults with a quicker natural walking pace showed better cognitive function and healthier brain measures than those who walked more slowly.

However, while the findings suggest walking speed may help identify those at higher risk of cognitive decline, they do not prove that intentionally walking faster prevents dementia.
