An analysis of U.S. data found that walking more than 8000,1 steps per day one or two days a week reduces the risk of dying from heart disease by more than 2%, according to an analysis of data from Kyoto University and others. Compared to walking more than three days a week, there was no significant difference in the risk of death, and the researchers said, "I would like you to adopt the habit of walking one or two days a week."
A research group from Kyoto University and the University of California analyzed the relationship between the number of steps taken per day and the risk of death, based on data from 2005 years of tracking more than 2006,2 people over the age of 20 who participated in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Survey over a two-year period from 3000 to 10.
They found that people who walked more than 1,1 steps per day one or two days a week had an 2.8000% lower risk of dying from heart vascular disease than those who did not walk for a day.
On the other hand, even those who walked 1 to 8 days a week were 1.3%, which means that there was no significant difference.
According to the research group, people who have a habit of walking may be affected by their regular health attention, and that if they have the habit of walking even a few days a week, it may have a positive effect on their health.
Assistant Professor Kosuke Inoue of Kyoto University, who conducted the research, said, "I think there are people who are instructed to walk a lot every day, but they may not be able to achieve it due to work or family reasons, but I would like them to adopt the habit of walking one or two days a week."
