Bidirectional association of daily steps with sarcopenia: a longitudinal study
This study highlights a bidirectional inverse association between average daily steps and sarcopenia. Increasing daily steps, especially to 5,000, might help mitigate sarcopenia development. Future research could explore interventions that increase daily steps to prevent sarcopenia and investigate whether sarcopenia reversal could improve physical activity levels.
