BackgroundAlthough 10 000 steps per day is widely promoted to have health benefits, there is little evidence to support this recommendation. We aimed to determine the association between number of steps per day and stepping rate with all-cause mortality.MethodsIn this meta-analysis, we identified studies investigating the effect of daily step count on all-cause mortality in adults… Continue reading Daily steps and all-cause mortality: a meta-analysis of 15 international cohorts

#Steps per Day and All-Cause #Mortality in Middle-aged Adultsin the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study
IMPORTANCE Steps per day is a meaningful metric for physical activity promotion in clinical andpopulation settings. To guide promotion strategies of step goals, it is important to understand theassociation of steps with clinical end points, including mortality. OBJECTIVE To estimate the association of steps per day with premature (age 41-65 years) all-causemortality among Black and… Continue reading #Steps per Day and All-Cause #Mortality in Middle-aged Adultsin the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study
Association of Daily #Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults
..Accelerometer-measured number of steps per day and 3 step intensity measures (extended bout cadence, peak 30-minute cadence, and peak 1-minute cadence [steps/min]). Accelerometer data were based on measurements obtained during a 7-day period at baseline. .. A total of 4840 participants (mean age, 56.8 years; 2435 [54%] women; 1732 [36%] individuals with obesity) wore accelerometers… Continue reading Association of Daily #Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults
Association of #Step Volume and Intensity With All-Cause #Mortality in Older Women
A goal of 10 000 steps/d is commonly believed by the public to be necessary for health, but this number has limited scientific basis.. ..In spline analysis, HRs were observed to decline progressively with higher mean steps per day until approximately 7500 steps/d, after which they leveled. For measures of stepping intensity, higher intensities were associated… Continue reading Association of #Step Volume and Intensity With All-Cause #Mortality in Older Women
