Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between walking time and lifespan across individuals of various ages and weights to validate the health benefits of walking exercise. The research utilized Python and related libraries to collect and preprocess data, and then analyzed the relationship between walking time and lifespan using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The study was conducted over a period of six months. The analysis results showed a trend towards increased lifespan with longer walking times, which was similarly observed in data using vitamin B2 and folate intake as surrogate variables. These findings suggest that walking exercise may have a positive impact on health and lifespan, and can be used as foundational data for the development of personalized health management services and related policy formulation.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 연령과 체중의 사람들을 대상으로 걷기 시간과 수명 간의 상관관계를 분석하여 걷기 운동의 건강 효과를 입증하는 것이다. 연구는 Python과 관련 라이브러리를 사용하여 데이터를 수집하고 전처리한 후, 피어슨 상관계수를 통해 걷기 시간과 수명 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 기간은 6개월로 설정되었다. 분석 결과, 걷기 시간이 증가할수록 수명이 연장되는 경향이 관찰되었으며, 이는 비타민 B2 섭취량과 엽산 섭취량을 대리변수로 사용한 데이터에서도 유사하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 걷기 운동이 건강 증진과 수명 연장에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하며, 향후 개인 맞춤형 건강 관리 서비스 개발과 관련 정책 수립에 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
