🚶 More steps, lower mortality?

PendingCheck this stamp

A 2023 meta-analysis in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology included 226,889 participants across 17 studies.

📊 Every additional 1,000 steps/day was associated with 15% lower all-cause mortality.

❤️ Every additional 500 steps/day was associated with 7% lower cardiovascular mortality.

You don’t have to start at 10,000 steps. Start where you are and build from there.

Important caveat: These are associations, not proof of causation. People who walk more may also exercise more, eat healthier, and see their doctors regularly.
