Walking every day even in middle age helps keep arteries healthy and reduce the chances of heart disease. Yet new research highlights the benefits of a good walk: while neuroscientists have long confirmed that aerobic exercises, such as walking, but also swimming, running or cycling, are healthy for brain health, now they are not there. doubts: walking is also good for the heart. And they are enough 7mila passi.
To say this is a cohort study published on the JAMA Network that found that a higher daily step volume may be associated with a lower risk of premature mortality from all causes, both among women and among middle-aged men.
Discriminating would be the 7mila passiAccording to the report, in fact, participants who took about 7 steps or more in a day experienced lower mortality rates than participants who took fewer.
A systematic review
They surveyed 2110 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study aged 38 to 50. All were followed for an average of 10 years. The data were analyzed in 2020 and 2021. The daily volume of steps was analyzed, classified as low (<7000 steps / day), moderate (7000-9999 steps / day) and high (≥10000 steps / day). day) and stride intensity, classified as a peak rate of 30 minutes and time taken at 100 steps per minute or more.
Participants in the group with the lowest step volume had a higher BMI, lower self-rated health, and a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes than the moderate and high step volume groups.
In general, in both middle-aged and different ethnic women and men, higher daily steps were associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Adults who took at least 7 steps a day, compared to those who took fewer, had about 50% to 70% lower mortality risk. In contrast, the execution of more than 10 steps in one day was not associated with a further reduction in the risk of mortality.
Our findings support those of previous studies, suggesting that increasing steps per day in the less active part of the population may provide a mortality benefit, the study authors say.
