The primary analysis was the correlation between 6\u2010m walking speed and walking distance of the first three steps taken at the start of walking. Factors influencing stride size were examined in a secondary analysis. Factors analyzed were sex, age at measurement, height, leg length, grip strength, walking speed, time required per step, skeletal muscle index, and psoas muscle index.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The correlation coefficient between 6\u2010m walking speed and walking distance of the three steps taken at the start of walking was significant at 0.75 (95% confidence interval: 0.5480\u20130.8667,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), with a median walking speed of 1.30\u2009m\/s for the large stride length group and 1.09\u2009m\/s for the small stride length group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.0006).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A longer 6\u2010m walking time was associated with a significantly shorter walking distance of the first three steps taken at the start of walking, indicating that 6\u2010m walking speed correlated with the walking distance of the three steps taken at the start of walking.
