The Claim
In older women, taking fewer than 2700 steps per day is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to taking at least 4400 steps per day, based on hazard ratios derived from quartile comparisons in a large prospective cohort study.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Older women who walk less than 2700 steps a day may have a higher chance of dying from any cause compared to those who walk at least 4400 steps daily.
See the scientific wording
Older women who take fewer than 2700 steps per day face higher all-cause mortality risk compared to those who take at least 4400 steps per day, based on observed hazard ratios from quartile comparisons in a large prospective cohort.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Association of Step Volume and Intensity With All-Cause Mortality in Older Women.
The study found that older women who walked about 4400 steps a day were less likely to die during the study than those who walked about 2700 steps, so the claim is backed by the data.
