The study has also looked at health problems that has not been examined so far. Walking 7,000 steps per day would drop the risk of dementia by 38%, 22% that of depression and 14% the risk of diabetes. This would also reduce the risk of having cancer and falling, according to the study, which warns that this hypothesis is based on fewer evidence.
“There is no need to reach 10,000 steps a day to have major benefits for your health,” said Paddy Dempsey, co-author of the study and medical researcher at the University of Cambridge. “The most important gains occur from 7,000 steps, beyond they tend to stabilize,” he added. If the walking speed varies from person to person, 7,000 steps represent approximately one hour of walking per day.
