A\u00f1adir 1,000 pasos, o incluso solo 500, a tu rutina diaria pudiera conducir a una vida m\u00e1s larga, sugiere una nueva investigaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Desde hace largo tiempo, los expertos han avalado la caminata como una forma gratis y sencilla para que las personas reciban una amplia variedad de beneficios para la salud, entre ellos dormir mejor, prevenir el aumento de peso y reducir los riesgos de una afecci\u00f3n grave, como enfermedad card\u00edaca, derrame cerebral y diabetes.<\/p>\n

Aunque las apps para mantener una buena forma f\u00edsica con frecuencia recomiendan caminar 10,000 pasos al d\u00eda, los expertos dicen que no hay un n\u00famero m\u00e1gico para mejorar la salud. Incluso as\u00ed, un grupo de investigadores europeos quiso hacerse una idea m\u00e1s clara de cu\u00e1ntos pasos pudieran ayudar a las personas a vivir m\u00e1s tiempo.<\/p>\n

El equipo de investigadores analiz\u00f3 17 estudios que reunieron datos sobre los conteos de pasos y las muertes debidas a todas las causas, espec\u00edficamente aquellas provocadas por problemas cardiovasculares. A los 226,899 adultos en los estudios se les realiz\u00f3 un seguimiento durante un promedio de 7.1 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Cada aumento de 1,000 pasos caminados diariamente por los participantes en los estudios estuvo relacionado con un 22% menor de probabilidad de morir por cualquier causa, seg\u00fan los c\u00e1lculos de los investigadores. Cada incremento de 500 pasos estuvo vinculado a una reducci\u00f3n del 7% en las muertes relacionadas con problemas cardiovasculares.<\/p>\n

Cuando los investigadores se centraron en la cifra media de los conteos de pasos, caminar m\u00e1s, especialmente mucho m\u00e1s, pareci\u00f3 tener una mayor correlaci\u00f3n con reducidas tasas de mortalidad.<\/p>\n

En comparaci\u00f3n con un grupo de personas que registraron casi 4,000 pasos al d\u00eda, el riesgo de morir por cualquier causa se redujo en:<\/p>\n

\u2013 49% para 5,500 pasos;<\/p>\n

\u2013 55% para 7,400 pasos; y<\/p>\n

\u2013 67% para 11,500 pasos al d\u00eda.<\/p>\n

En el caso de las muertes debidas a causas cardiovasculares, en comparaci\u00f3n con cerca de 2,350 pasos al d\u00eda, el riesgo disminuy\u00f3 en:<\/p>\n

\u2013 16% para 4,000 pasos;<\/p>\n

\u2013 49% para 6,700 pasos; y<\/p>\n

\u2013 67% para 10,400 pasos al d\u00eda.<\/p>\n

“El mensaje es que no tienes que caminar mucho para conseguir grandes beneficios. Tan solo caminar 1,000 pasos adicionales al d\u00eda puede ser muy importante”, dijo el Dr. Maciej Banach, autor principal del estudio. “Por supuesto, mientras m\u00e1s camines, mejor”.<\/p>\n

La clave radica en caminar con regularidad. Banach, que es un cardi\u00f3logo, se\u00f1ala que \u00e9l les dice a sus pacientes sedentarios que aprovechen cualquier oportunidad de aumentar sus pasos. \u00c9l les dice que, siempre que sea posible, dejen el auto en casa y caminen hasta destinos cercanos.<\/p>\n

“Es tan f\u00e1cil. Pero el aspecto importante es que no puedes hacerlo nada m\u00e1s durante una semana o un mes. Debes hacer el intento por caminar todos los d\u00edas, durante el resto de tu vida”, dijo Banach, jefe del departamento de cardiolog\u00eda preventiva y lipidolog\u00eda de la Universidad M\u00e9dica de Lodz, en Polonia.<\/p>\n

Banach dijo que el estudio tuvo limitaciones porque que se bas\u00f3 en observaci\u00f3n, y no en poner a prueba una intervenci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica, y por tanto no pudo demostrar causa y efecto. Es necesario estudiar los posibles beneficios de pasos adicionales diarios en ensayos controlados aleatorios y bien dise\u00f1ados de diferentes poblaciones, dijo \u00e9l.<\/p>\n

Amanda Paluch, quien no particip\u00f3 en la investigaci\u00f3n, dijo que el estudio proporciona evidencia cuantitativa de los beneficios que reporta caminar y nos recuerda que “cualquier peque\u00f1a mejora puede ser significativa para tu salud, en especial si en estos momentos no est\u00e1s activo”.<\/p>\n

“No solo se trata de la cantidad de a\u00f1os, sino de la calidad de los a\u00f1os vividos”, dijo ella. “Mantenerse activo puede prolongar los a\u00f1os saludables para jugar con los nietos, tachar m\u00e1s viajes de la lista de cosas por hacer antes de morir y sencillamente disfrutar la vida cada d\u00eda sin las cargas de las enfermedades”.<\/p>\n

\"\"Upping your step count, even in small amounts, may increase life span<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Thor Christensen, American Heart Association News<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Adding 1,000 or even 500 steps to your daily routine could lead to a longer life, new research suggests.<\/p>\n

Experts have long endorsed walking as a free and easy way for people to get a wide variety of health benefits, including improved sleep, prevention of weight gain and reduced risks for serious conditions like heart disease, stroke and diabetes.<\/p>\n

While fitness apps often recommend taking 10,000 steps a day, experts say there’s no magic number for improving health. Still, a group of European researchers wanted to get a clearer idea of how many steps might help people live longer.<\/p>\n

The research team analyzed 17 studies that gathered data on step counts, deaths from all causes and specifically from cardiovascular problems. The 226,899 adults in the studies were followed for an average of 7.1 years.<\/p>\n

Each increase of 1,000 steps taken daily by the studies’ participants was associated with a 22% lower chance of dying from all causes, the researchers calculated. Each 500-step increment was linked to a 7% drop in cardiovascular-related deaths.<\/p>\n

When researchers looked at the median number of step counts, walking more \u2013 especially a lot more \u2013 seemed to have a greater connection to reduced death rates.<\/p>\n

Compared with a group of people logging almost 4,000 steps daily, risk of death from any cause was reduced by:<\/p>\n

\u2013 49% for 5,500 steps;<\/p>\n

\u2013 55% for 7,400 steps; and<\/p>\n

\u2013 67% for 11,500 steps a day.<\/p>\n

For deaths from cardiovascular causes, compared with about 2,350 steps a day, risk fell by:<\/p>\n

\u2013 16% for 4,000 steps;<\/p>\n

\u2013 49% for 6,700; and<\/p>\n

\u2013 67% for 10,400 steps a day.<\/p>\n

“The message is you don’t need to walk a lot to get large benefits. Walking just 1,000 extra steps a day can be very important,” said Dr. Maciej Banach, the study’s lead author. “Obviously the more, the better.”<\/p>\n

The key is to do it regularly. Banach, a cardiologist, said he tells his sedentary patients to look for any opportunity to increase their steps. He tells them to leave the car at home and walk to nearby destinations whenever possible.<\/p>\n

“It’s so easy. But the important thing is you can’t just do it for one week or one month. You should be trying to walk every day for the rest of your life,” said Banach, head of the department of preventive cardiology and lipidology at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland.<\/p>\n

Banach said the study was limited by the fact that it was based on observation, rather than testing a specific intervention, and could not prove cause and effect. The potential benefits of extra daily steps need to be studied in well-designed, randomized controlled trials of different populations, he said.<\/p>\n

Amanda Paluch, who was not involved in the research, said the study provides quantitative evidence of the benefits of walking and reminds us that “any small improvement can be meaningful for your health, particularly if you are not active right now.”<\/p>\n

She urged medical professionals to try to motivate patients to be physically active.<\/p>\n

“Patients value advice from physicians. Taking just a few seconds to encourage active lifestyles can be meaningful,” said Paluch, assistant professor in the School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.<\/p>\n

While the study focused on life span and exercise, Paluch said people should think about walking as a way to lengthen their “health span.”<\/p>\n

“It’s not just about quantity of years, but quality of years lived,” she said. “Being active can prolong healthy years to play with the grandkids, check off more of those bucket list trips, and simply enjoy daily living without the burdens of disease.”<\/p>\n
