Physical in activity is one of the major
Public health issues world wide
contributing. to an estimated 3.2millions
Deaths and imposing $54billions indirect
Health care clost annually .Several studies
have used the number of daily steps as
simple and valid measure of physical
activity and have investigated the
Association of daily steps with health
Out come ,including cardiovascular
DIsease and dementia.
Recently a meta---analysis suggested
that more daily steps are associated with
a steady decline in mortality risk up to a
Approximately 8000daily steps at which
Point mortality risk appeared to plateau .
However according to study that relied
On smart phone accelerometers the
Average number of daily steps in US residents
Was only 4800 far below the number that
Has been shown to have substantial benefits
Including reduction in mortality risk.
Following are the findings of
Cohort study of 3101 adult
Participants a curvilinear dose
----response association was found
Between the number of days taking
8000 steps or more throughout the
Week and lower risk of all cause
and cardiovascular mortality at
10 years .
Participants who only took
8000 steps or more 1or 2 days
During the week also showed
Substantially Lower all cause
And cardiovascular mortality risk.
Study findings suggest that for
adults who face difficulties in
exercising regularly , achieving
the recommended daily steps
Only a couple of days a week may
Have meaningful Health benefits.
