Association of Daily Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults | Cardiology | JAMA | JAMA Network

Association of Daily Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults | Cardiology | JAMA | JAMA Network: Findings  In this observational study that included 4840 participants, a greater number of steps per day was significantly associated with lower all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio for 8000 steps/d vs 4000 steps/d, 0.49). There was no significant association between step intensity and all-cause mortality after adjusting for the total number of steps per day.

Meaning  Greater numbers of steps per day were associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality.
