👟 Just 2 Days Can Make a Difference! 🧓📉
In a large cohort of 13,547 older women (mean age 72), walking ≥4,000 steps/day on even 1–2 days/week was linked to a 26% lower mortality and 27% lower cardiovascular disease risk 💥. Those walking ≥3 days/week had even greater benefits!
📉 Higher step thresholds (up to 7,000/day) showed further mortality reduction—but step volume, not frequency, drove outcomes.
🧠 Message? There's no "perfect pattern"—even weekend walks count.
💡 Time to rethink activity guidelines and empower aging with steps.
