More evidence on the health benefits of active transport

“Women who averaged approx. 4400 steps/d had significantly lower mortality rates [..] compared with the least active women who took approx. 2700 steps/d; as more steps per day were accrued, mortality rates progressively decreased before leveling at approximately 7500 steps/d.”

This is from a new paper that just came out in JAMA (via Eric Topol). And yes, the authors are have addressed reverse causation bias. Read the methods section.
