A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking up to 10,000 steps daily was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all-cause mortality, as well as lower incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease There is a possibility that .
A group of international researchers found in a Sept. 12 study that higher step intensities may provide additional benefits.
The group used research data from the UK Biobank from 2013 to 2015. This includes her study population of 78,500 people, including adults from her 40s to her 79s in England, Scotland and Wales.

Fifty-five percent of the participants were female, with a mean age of 61 years, and were predominantly Caucasian. Participants were invited by email to participate in the accelerometer study.
UK adults wore Axivity AX3 wrist accelerometers. It measured daily steps and established a cadence-based step length scale.
Their health status was monitored for a median of 7 years.
Morbidity and mortality were ascertained by October of last year, with data analysis conducted in March 2022.
During that time, 1,325 participants died from cancer and 664 from cardiovascular disease.

Using statistical modeling, the researchers said that more steps taken each day were associated with lower risk of mortality and lower incidence of illness.
“Steps performed at a higher cadence may be particularly associated with further reducing the risk of accidental illness,” the study notes.
Every 2,000 steps were shown to reduce the risk of premature death by 8% to 11%.
Limitations of this study included that the design of the study prevented the authors from claiming causality, that step count data were collected only once at the beginning of the study, and that covariates were accelerometer-wearing. that the day was not measured, that some reverse causality possibilities may still exist, that the UK Biobank response rate was very low, and that participants were representative of the entire UK population. residual or unmeasured confounding may still exist, and the relative energy costs of walking and other daily activities are higher in older people.
