Clinical Walking Speed, Free-Living Walking Cadence, and All-Cause Mortality

In this cohort study, clinical walking speed and free-living walking cadence were both associated with all-cause mortality risk and had a similar discriminative ability for all-cause mortality. These results suggest that both measures can be used in population-based studies, and the choice between the 2 methods may depend on research objectives, implementation constraints, and the strengths of each method.
