Inverted-U association between daily steps and WHO-5 in university students: non-linear modeling and robustness checks
Among university students, higher daily steps are associated with better SWB up to ~8,000-12,000 steps/day, beyond which benefits plateau with diminishing returns rather than harm. Results support range-based, progressive step guidance for student mental health. Please replace the current abstract with the structured IMRaD version provided above.
