This research, spanning over 11,000 community-dwelling seniors in Australia, underscores the profound impact of something as simple as walking on longevity. Even engaging in transport-related walking just once a week has shown to significantly lower the risk of all-cause mortality. With implications for public health policy and urban planning, this study advocates for making walking a more accessible and appealing mode of transport for older adults.

Some groups may meet regularly, such as once a week, while others may be more sporadic.
