La importancia de los pasos diarios con la nueva información:
> o = 10,000 pasos ➡️ Ideal para mayor beneficio
* > o = 7,000 * pasos ➡️ Meta más realista. Conserva gran parte de los beneficios de caminar
> o = 4000 pasos ➡️ Mejor salud que personas que solo caminan 2000 pasos diarios
Caminar puede mejorar tu salud, ¡No lo subestimes!
New OPEN ACCESS research here: 'Daily steps and health outcomes in adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis'.
For the last few years, there has been an emphasis placed on accumulating 10,000 steps a day to stay healthy. Many people use fitness trackers to count their daily steps.
In this study, researchers conducted a meta-analysis of studies conducted between 2014 to 2025 from 35 cohorts - including more than 16,000 adult participants - to look for correlations between step counts and eight specific outcomes: all-cause mortality, cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognitive outcomes, falls, mental health outcomes, physical function, and type 2 diabetes.
Key findings:
📌 Daily step volume is consistently associated with lower risks of major health outcomes. Although risk reductions occur even at lower step counts, they continue with increasing steps per day.
📌 Although 10 000 steps per day can still be a viable target for those who are more active, 7000 steps per day is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in health outcomes and might be a more realistic and achievable target for some.
📌 Study participants who only achieved a modest step count of about 4,000 steps per day still had better health outcomes than participants who had very low activity at about 2,000 steps a day.
📌 Findings provide important empirical evidence to inform physical activity guidelines, enhance population surveillance, and establish initial public health benchmarks for daily steps.
