Science Says: Walk This Way
Ladies and gentlemen, start your self-trackers: The holy grail of 10,000 steps per day for greater longevity turns out to be a myth. A study in JAMA Internal Medicine of 16,741 older accelerometer-wearing women suggests that there’s nothing magic about that number. In the study, women who walked 4,400 steps a day were slightly less likely to die in the following years than those who took just 2,700; the more the better, although there seemed to be little benefit above 7,500 steps per day. So where did that nice round number come from, anyhow? Probably the marketing department of a Japanese pedometer company from the 1960s—their gizmo was dubbed the “10,000-steps meter.” [Research paper]
