Friends "Aim for 10,000 daily steps. A recent Tulane University study found that daily stair climbing of at least 50 flights can dramatically lower heart disease risk.

These results show the potential advantages of stair climbing as a key preventative intervention for ASCVD in the general population.

Friends, the study evaluated participants' vulnerability to cardiovascular disease using information from over 450,000 adults in the UK Biobank, taking into consideration family history, genetic risk factors, and well-known risk factors including high blood pressure and smoking. We also looked at the participants' stair-climbing frequency and way of living. A median follow-up period of 12.5 years was used.

Friends, according to research, everyday stair climbing lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly among less physically active people. Even more physically active people, however, might be able to "effectively offset" their elevated risk of heart disease by climbing stairs every day, according to Dr. Qi.

Additionally, researchers have found that compared to people who never climbed stairs, those who stopped doing so every day during the trial had a 32% higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Friends, incorporating daily stair climbing into one's routine is a convenient, affordable strategy to increase the general population's access to exercise, according to Dr. Qi.

"This research provides novel evidence for the protective effects of stair climbing on the risk of ASCVD, especially for individuals with multiple risk factors for ASCVD," said Qi.
