In 15 cohorts, the most active people had 40–53% lower mortality, with benefits plateauing at 6–10k steps (Paluch et al., Lancet Public Health 2022)

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
it plateaus at ~7,500 steps/d.
Increasing your ave. step count by even a small amount seems to reduce risk of mortality
About 7,000 steps/day is associated with ~50–70% lower mortality vs low activity https://t.co/xrfn3QlIVY https://t.co/y7eIzqy0Gy
there is a huge inflection at about 8,000 steps per day um where yeah you still get you still get benefits by going even up to like 20,000 steps a day but the vast majority of the benefits just go from like I mean the the the dip off in mortality I'm sure you've seen it it's like going from 2,000 to 8,000 it's like precipitous it's like free falling off a cliff how how drastically that decreases mortality
