Alexey Kulikov: Key Findings from the Recent Meta-Analysis on Daily Steps and Health Outcomes
Alexey Kulikov, Head of Partnerships and Operations, Deputy Head of Secretariat for the UN NCD Task Force, and an External Relations Officer at WHO, shared a post on X about a paper by published in The Lancet:
“Three key findings from the recent meta-analysis in The Lancet:
Even modest daily step counts were associated with health benefits.
7000 steps per day was associated with sizeable risk reductions across most outcomes, compared with the reference of 2000 steps per day.
Even though risk continued to decrease beyond 7000 steps per day, it plateaued for some outcomes.
Study further reiterated the dose-response relationship between daily steps and health outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, cognitive outcomes, mental health outcomes, physical function, and falls.”
