Daily steps as a public health metric for physical activity monitoring and promotion
- Abstract:
- This review summarizes the evidence on the number and intensity of steps associated with health benefits. For older adults, 6000-8000 daily steps is associated with substantial cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality benefits and taking more than 8000 daily steps appears to be associated with additional benefit. For younger adults, taking 8000-10,000 daily steps is associated with substantial mortality benefit.
