Gait data were analyzed using Watch Walk methods. Cardiovascular death, defined as death within nine years of follow-up due to heart disease, stroke, or vascular conditions, was tracked using National Health Service databases. Minimally adjusted and multivariable Cox proportional-hazard models assessed the relationship between digital gait biomarkers and cardiovascular death.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among 38 766 participants, 485 (1.3%) had cardiovascular deaths during follow-up. In minimally adjusted models, maximal walking speed, running duration, step count, longest walk duration, and the proportion of short walks were associated with cardiovascular death. In multivariable models adjusted for age, sex and smoking status, slower maximal walking speed, reduced daily running duration, and a higher proportion of short walks remained independent predictors. This model had a C-statistic of 0.75, comparable to traditional risk scores including SCORE2 and the Framingham Risk Score (both 0.74).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Walking speed, running duration, and the proportion of longer walks are key real-world walking characteristics to consider when assessing cardiovascular death risk.
