For individuals with limited time to dedicate to exercise amidst their hectic schedules, stair climbing emerges as a beneficial alternative. A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital indicates that incorporating stair climbing into one's routine can significantly reduce the risk of death due to cardiovascular disease and premature death in general.
The study involved a comprehensive review of over 1,900 previous studies, with a meta-analysis focusing on nine studies meeting the researchers' criteria. These studies comprised more than 480,000 participants aged between 35 and 84, with a majority of them being women, constituting 53 percent of the overall sample. The participants included both individuals with no history of heart issues and those with a history of heart attacks or peripheral artery disease.
The findings revealed that stair climbers exhibited a 24 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular causes compared to those who relied on elevators or other means of transportation.
