Association of Daily Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults

PSPedro F. Saint‐MauriceRTRichard P. TroianoDBDavid R. Bassett

Key Points

  • To examine the associations of daily step volume and step intensity with all-cause mortality among adults.
  • Evaluated daily step counts and step intensity in a representative sample of US adults.
  • Assessed all-cause mortality while adjusting step intensity models for total steps per day.
  • A greater number of daily steps was significantly associated with reduced all-cause mortality.
  • Step intensity showed no significant association with mortality after adjusting for total daily steps.

Abstract

Based on a representative sample of US adults, a greater number of daily steps was significantly associated with lower all-cause mortality. There was no significant association between step intensity and mortality after adjusting for total steps per day.
