The study indicates that walking faster significantly reduces the risk of death, irrespective of the total number of daily steps, emphasizing pace over quantity.
Moderate-to-vigorous exercise is essential for cardiovascular health, with 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity recommended weekly.
Walking at a pace of 100 steps per minute for 30 minutes, five days a week meets the moderate exercise requirements for older adults.
With data from 12 studies and over 111,000 participants, researchers found that just 2,500 daily steps significantly lowered the risk of death.
