On July 25, 2023, Prof. Dr. Teerawat Hemajutha, head of the Center for Emerging Disease Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn Hospital Post a message via Facebook stating that…

nowadays We know that gait It doesn’t mean that you have to do intense cardio, with your heart beating fast. Help health and reduce mortality. Related to blood vessels, heart, brain and can also reduce dementia as well

However, if you can get to 10,000 steps per day.

The problem is that in older people There are problems with bones and joints, both degenerative and even after surgery. Causing difficulty in walking, including back pain, balancing, so bully refuses to move

The results of the new study were specific to people ages 71 to 92, with an average age of 78.

and reported at the meeting epidemiology, and prevention/life style and cardiometabolic health by Dr Erin Dooley, an expert in epidemiology and colleagues at the university of Alabama at Birmingham.

We conducted a subgroup analysis of the study. The risk of atherosclerosis in the community atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC), an ongoing analytical study by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute)

This sub-study consisted of 452 older adults and was detailed and analyzed periodically between 2016 and 2017.

Participants in the study wore a accelerometer attached to their waist for at least 10 hours a day. three consecutive days each time, and was 59% female, 20% black.

Health outcomes summarized through December 2019 include both fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease requiring hospitalization. and heart attack was included

The findings of a major study showed that for every additional 500 steps taken per day, the risk of DVT was reduced by 14% (hazard ratio, 0.86; 95% confidence interval, 0.76 to 0.98).

The average walking distance was 3,447 steps per day and 34 patients accounted for 7.5% of the vascular disease events during the 1269 person-year follow-up.

The cumulative risk of vascular disease was significantly higher, 11.5% in the quartile with the least walking, less than 2077 nine steps per day, compared to only 3.5% in the highest group with at least 4453 steps per day.

Even more encouraging was that in the group who walked the most (highest quartile), the overall risk was reduced by 77% over 3.5 years over the follow-up period (HR,0.23).

The results of this study support the value of walking. even though the number of Step up, even if not much, in the elderly, starting from every 500 steps, will get more benefits.

This is for the benefit of being able to perform as easily as possible. That is, in the elderly from 70 years old and above, walking from 3000 steps per day will begin to result in the benefits of preventing heart disease or brain disease, and the benefits will be obvious. That is, from 4,500 steps onwards.

At this time, children can buy inexpensive smart watches for parents, aunts, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, grandmothers to wear and to measure and encourage adult relatives to move and have continuous movement.

The important thing is that in the middle-aged people are still working, sitting at their desks each day. Move only 500-600 steps and have regular excuses that work is tired and you have to sit and relax, watch TV, eat snacks.

Exercise must start at any age to benefit. Don’t waste time coming to heal when sickness occurs. and the money that has been earned for a lifetime ends up in the end of life, losing money and having to borrow debt to heal only two to four years until death
