Participants aged 55 years and older with maximum gait speed measured at both time points were included (n = 1128). Information on education, age, sex, lifestyle factors, body mass index, physical workload, and chronic conditions was collected at baseline. General linear model was used to examine differences in decline in maximum gait speed between education groups.
