Walking at Least 3,800 Steps Per Day Might Reduce Your Risk of Dementia

A recent study reveals that walking at least 3,800 steps daily is linked to significant health benefits, particularly for older adults. This research, published in JAMA Network Open, shows that even modest amounts of daily walking can lower the risk of dementia and cardiovascular disease. While more steps generally provide greater benefits, the study highlights that even this relatively low step count can lead to substantial improvements in overall health and longevity, making it an accessible goal for many people.
