Stair climbing reduces cardiovascular death risk by 39 percent
A large-scale analysis of data from over 480,000 participants aged 35 to 84 suggests that regular stair climbing significantly reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases. Researchers, including experts from the University of Anglia and Norwich Medical School, found that those who climb stairs regularly have a 39 percent lower risk of dying from cardiovascular causes, such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure, compared to those who do not.
Additionally, the study indicates a 24 percent reduction in the risk of death from all causes. While more research is needed to determine the optimal amount, one cohort study suggests that climbing approximately six flights of stairs per day may provide the greatest benefit. Researchers emphasize that stair climbing is a practical, easily integrated way to increase daily physical activity for individuals who may lack easy access to gyms or structured exercise.
