US researchers say your gait can predict your longevity -- a new study found that seniors with the fastest strides lived longer than their slower walking counterparts.

Published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study examined the walking speeds of some 35,000 seniors. For both women and men aged 75 or older, the fastest walkers enjoyed longer lives, with 87 percent of the fastest men living 10 more years in comparison to the slowest walking men. Ninety one percent of the fastest walking women lived 10 more years than their slower counterparts.
