This episode explains the utility and method of the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), a simple, non-intensive physical assessment that can be performed almost anywhere. This test involves measuring the total distance a person can walk on a flat surface in six minutes, providing a snapshot of cardiovascular and muscular endurance. It emphasizes that walking distance is a crucial indicator of overall health, often referred to as the “sixth vital sign,” because it predicts independence, risk of frailty, and even life expectancy. Furthermore, it includes standardized distance ranges for different age groups and genders, offers instructions for self-assessment at home, and notes that the test is widely used in medical settings to assess fitness for surgery and track long-term survival.
