Results showed that walking 3,867 steps daily was enough to begin reducing the risk of dying from any cause — and that just 2,337 steps per day could help reduce the risk of dying from heart disease. The benefits were similar for men and women as well, regardless of where they lived.
But most importantly, the study found that essentially the more you walk, the better – every extra 1,000 steps was associated with a 15% decreased risk of dying from any cause, and a mere extra 500 daily steps was associated with a 7% decrease in dying from heart disease.
