Study links 7,000 steps a day to a marked fall in cardiovascular risk

• Around 120,000 participants, followed for more than ten years
• The clearest benefit appears around 7,000 steps a day
• Beyond 10,000 steps, additional benefit levels off

The research draws on ten years of data from 120,000 participants. The authors caution that an observational finding is not the same as cause and effect.
