Slow walking speed and risk of cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes: a systematic review
This is the first systematic review to indicate an association between reduced walking speed and increased CVD incidence in T2DM. This association is seen across diverse populations and settings. Further research in T2DM could explore whether increasing walking speed reduces CVD risk.
