7,000 Steps a Day Slashes Death Risk by Nearly Half.

In 2025, Melody Ding and team from the University of Sydney analyzed 57 studies with over 160,000 people across multiple countries. They used data from wearable devices like pedometers to track daily steps, comparing health outcomes like death rates, heart disease, dementia, and depression against a baseline of 2,000 steps.

Walking 7,000 steps daily cut the risk of early death by 47%, matching the benefits of 10,000 steps. It also lowered dementia risk by 38%, heart disease by 25%, and depression symptoms by 22%. Even 4,000 steps reduced death risk by 36%, making small increases powerful.

Aim for 7,000 steps daily to boost your heart, brain, and overall health.
