Walking and Heart Health
Tracking daily steps can be a useful measure of physical activity, but health recommendations based solely on step counts may overlook important details.
A study of over 33,000 UK Biobank adults found that the spacing of daily steps affects future health outcomes.
- Participants who took most of their daily steps during longer strolls had a lower risk of dying from any cause.
- Those who walked for longer bouts also had a lower risk of future cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes.
This was true even after adjusting for the total number of steps taken.
