Higher daily step count linked with lower all-cause mortality



Higher daily step count linked with lower all-cause mortality— In a new study, higher daily step counts were associated with lower mortality risk from all causes. The research team, which included investigators from the NIA, National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), also found that the number of steps a person takes each day, but not the intensity of stepping, had a strong association with mortality.
