Part 5/8:
Three significant studies shed light on the correlation between step counts and health improvements:
JAMA 2021 Study: Involving 200,000 women, this observational study demonstrated that taking over 7,000 steps was associated with a staggering 50-70% reduction in mortality compared to those who walked fewer than 7,000 steps.
Lancet 2021 Study: In this research with 78,000 adults, similar findings showed that health benefits improved with an increase in daily steps, peaking at around 7,000.
JAM 2019 Study: This study focused on postmenopausal women, revealing that the threshold for reduced mortality rates was approximately 7,500 steps.
