Study: Number Of Daily Steps Needed For A Longer Life Varies By Age

The video discusses the common belief that 10,000 steps a day is necessary for health. However, research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst suggests that the ideal number of daily steps varies by age. For adults over 60, 6,000 to 8,000 steps are sufficient to reduce the risk of premature death, while more steps do not significantly increase longevity. For those under 60, the target is slightly higher, at 8,000 to 10,000 steps.
