Authors of the study reviewed 10 previous studies conducted between 1999 and 2022, which assessed links between walking speed and the development of type 2 diabetes among adults from the United States,the United Kingdom and Japan. After a follow-up period of eight years on average,compared with easy or casual walking, those who walked an average or normal pace had a 15%lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the researchers found.Walking at a"fairly brisk"pace meant.a24%lower risk than those who easily or casually walked.And"brisk walking"had the biggest benefit:a 39%reduction in risk. Easy or casual walking was defined as less than 2 miles per hour.Average or normal pace was defined as 2 to 3 miles per hour.A"fairly brisk"pace was 3 to 4 miles per hour.And "brisk walking"was more than 4 miles per hour.Each kilometer increase in walking speed above brisk was associated with a 9%lower risk of developing the disease. The research has gained approval from experts.Dr.Shimabukuro,a professor from Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine,agreed,furthermore adding that "increased exercise intensity due to faster walking speeds can result in a greater stimulus for physiological (生理的)functions and better health conditions.”He pointed out the importance of walking speed in reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.He also suggested that we integrate brisk walking into our daily routine,which can be a simple yet effective strategy to prevent the attack of type 2 diabetes and promote better well-being. 8.What is key to reducing diabetes risk,according to the new study?
