A new study invlving nearly 50,000 peple frm fur cntinents ffers new insights int identifying the quantity f daily walking steps that will best imprve adults’ health and lngevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number f steps differs acrss peple f different ages. The study represents an effrt t develp an evidence-based public health message abut the benefits f physical activity. The ften-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew ut f a decades-ld marketing activity fr a Japanese pedmeter(计步器), with n science t back it up.
Led by physical activity prfessr Amanda Paluch, an internatinal grup f scientists cnducted an experiment amng adults aged 18 and lder. They gruped the nearly 50,000 participants int fur cmparative grups accrding t average steps per day. The lwest step grup averaged 3,500 steps; the secnd, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the furth, 10,900 steps per day. Amng the three higher active grups, there was a 40—53% lwer risk f death, cmpared t the lwest step grup.
Mre specifically, fr adults 60 and lder, the risk f early death leveled ff at abut 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that mre steps than that prvided n additinal benefit fr lngevity, while fr adults yunger than 60, abut 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.
“S, what we saw was this cntinuing reductin in risk as the number f steps increases, until it levels ff. Interestingly, the study fund n definitive assciatin with walking speed.” Paluch says.
The new study supprts and expands findings frm anther study led by Paluch befre, which fund that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged peple’s risk f early death. “There’s a lt f evidence suggesting that mving even a little mre is beneficial, particularly fr thse wh are ding very little activity.” Paluch says. “Mre steps per day are better fr yur health.”

Exercises that engage muscles withut mvement, such as wall squats and planks, may be best fr lwering bld pressure, accrding t a large study published in July, 2023 in the British Jurnal f Sprts Medicine.

It’s als imprtant t nte that there are ther lifestyle changes as well as exercise that can benefit yur bld pressure. These include keeping t a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, cutting dwn n salt, nt drinking t much alchl and ensuring that yu cntinue t take any prescribed medicatin.
