A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reveals that older adults can significantly reduce their risk of early death and heart disease by walking just 4,000 steps once or twice a week. Tracking over 13,500 women aged 62 and above, researchers found that this modest activity lowered death risk by 26%, while walking 4,000 steps three or more days weekly cut the risk by up to 40%.
