The observational and theoretical basis for the log P vs. K-mag relation is reviewed. The observed gradient in all well observed globular clusters agrees well with the theoretical prediction. An indistinguishable result is found for field RR Lyrae stars whose absolute magnitudes have been determined from infrared Baade-Wesselink analyses. A full reference list is given for the source of these magnitudes. Application of the results to find the distance to globular clusters and the Galactic Centre is discussed.
