The relationships between step count and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events: A dose-response meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A goal of 10,000 steps per day is widely advocated, but there is little evidence to support that goal. Our purpose was to examine the dose-response relationships between step count and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease risk.
