The study of nearly 78,000 adults looked at steps per day, and also the intensity of the steps, and the association with the risk of developing dementia.
Those who reach between 3,800 and 9,800 steps per day and do so at a higher intensity were found to have a lower risk of developing dementia, according to a new study of older adults in the U.K.
The average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps per day, though that can also vary significantly based on occupation and other factors, according to the Mayo Clinic. It found that walking with a "purposeful" cadence was most optimal at 6,315 steps and brought a 67% reduction in dementia risk.
