How many studies support Walking?

Walking and daily step count are supported by a large meta-analysis linking higher step counts to lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, alongside decades-old but influential cohort data (the Harvard alumni study) and broader reviews on physical activity and mortality. That's backed by 4 published studies in Vitaebase's database, including 1 meta-analysis, the most recent from 2024 -- a modest but real research base.
