Recent rapid responses
Rapid responses are electronic letters to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. Although a selection of rapid responses will be included as edited readers' letters in the weekly print issue of the BMJ, their first appearance online means that they are published articles. If you need the url (web address) of an individual response, perhaps for citation purposes, simply click on the response headline and copy the url from the browser window.

Dear Editor,
I am confused. In your issue 7837 of 24-31 December 2011 a study of elderly men suggested that a faster walking speed was associated with a lower mortality. However another study in the recent issue 7867 concluded that walking faster wasn't such a good idea!
As I am well into the study age groups should I be walking faster or slower?
Please advise.
