#Mortalityrisk

A new large-scale study suggests that just 15 minutes of brisk walking daily can lower the risk of death by 19%, offering a simple, accessible way for people of all income levels to boost health and longevity. Published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the research draws a clear link between fast-paced walking and reduced mortality–even when other lifestyle factors like diet, smoking, and general physical activity are considered. Its findings have vital implications for Thailand, where large segments of the population may face barriers to structured exercise or lack access to expensive gyms and fitness spaces.

Along Bangkok’s increasingly congested sidewalks and within Thailand’s rural villages where morning markets bustle with daily commerce, a simple activity practiced by millions holds the key to dramatically reducing mortality risk and extending healthy lifespan. Groundbreaking research published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine reveals that just fifteen minutes of brisk walking daily can lower death risk by 19%—offering accessible, cost-effective health transformation for Thai communities regardless of economic circumstances or geographic location.
