• Resumo em Inglês: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) persists as leading cause of death in older age groups. The identification of cardiovascular risk in elderly asymptomatic lacks appropriate tools. From this perspective, brief physical tests have several advantages when compared to long distance and/or that require maximum effort. Although the walking speed test (WS) is a potential candidate, the consolidation of data is needed from multiple studies to determine comparative references. The aim of this study is perform a systematic review of literature examining associations between WST measures with traditional risk markers and cardiovascular events in people aged > 60 years and living on community. The methodology used search in Medline/PubMed and Scopus databases (??? December 2014). We selected 15 studies with population of 29.845 old people, that showed significant associations between WS, the risk (coronary calcification, C-reactive protein, hypertension, diabetes and medium intimal thickening) and cardiovascular events (death, peripheral arterial disease and stroke brain). Approximately 80% of the distance studies adopted ??? 6 meters and WS in the usual rate. High variability was observed in the results from the usual WST (0.8 - 1.3 m/s) and WST max. (1.1 - 1.6 m/s). Growing evidences reinforces the importance of the WST for the evaluation and the monitoring of cardiovascular health in the elderly. However, the variability of results and the diversity of protocols suggests cautious about generalizations of WST thresholds.
