Researchers found higher levels of physical activity, in either time of exercise or step counts, were associated with significant risk reductions in mortality and cardiovascular disease, with the most active women showing a 30 to 40 percent reduced risk.
Lead author Rikuta Hamaya emphasized the importance of comparing step-based measurements to time-based targets for their association with health outcomes, highlighting the need to understand if one method is superior to the other.
The study challenges existing physical activity guidelines by showing the effectiveness of step-count measurements compared to traditional time-based recommendations, indicating that various forms of movement are beneficial to health.
