Time vs. Steps: What's Best for Health Targets?
Embracing an active lifestyle is a key pillar of healthy aging, but how should older Australian women track their physical activity? A study by Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers valuable insights into this question. By comparing the benefits of monitoring exercise time versus step counts, the research provides a clearer picture of what works best for health in this demographic.
Walking: A Lifesaving Habit for Older Adults
In a groundbreaking study by Monash University, the benefits of walking for transport among older adults have been revealed. This research, spanning over 11,000 community-dwelling seniors in Australia, underscores the profound impact of something as simple as walking on longevity. Even engaging in transport-related walking just once a week has shown to significantly lower the risk of all-cause mortality. With implications for public health policy and urban planning, this study advocates for making walking a more accessible and appealing mode of transport for older adults.

Thinking of walking groups?
Social walking groups can be organized by a variety of organizations, including local parks and recreation departments, walking clubs, and online communities.
The benefits of joining a social walking group are numerous. For one, it can provide a sense of community and motivation, as you have the support and encouragement of others to help you stick to your walking routine. Walking groups can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends, especially if you are new to an area or looking to expand your social circle.

In terms of structure, social walking groups can vary. Some groups may have a designated leader who plans the route and sets the pace, while others may be more informal, with participants simply showing up and walking together. Some groups may meet regularly, such as once a week, while others may be more sporadic.
