Walking is the most preferred PA mode for older adults [4] and increasing daily step count may reduce the presence of frailty. Observational research finds a dose-response relationship with higher daily step counts associated with lower frailty prevalence [5]. This relationship persists even among those with very low step counts (less than 3,000 per day) […]

Results This study included 5515 adolescent participants (2640 [47.9%] female; mean [SD] age 11.93 [0.65] years) using step counters. Higher step count was associated with lower total mental health problems (B [SE], −0.080 [0.015]; t = −5.497; P < .001) and greater cortical thickness in the paracentral (B [SE], 0.057 [0.016]; t = 3.621; P < .001) and rostral anterior cingulate (B[SE], 0.052 […]
