mindbodygreen reports on an observational study in Scientific Reports that analyzed Fitbit step counts and blood pressure from about 3,100 adults ages 18 to 93 in the NIH All of Us Research Program over 14 years. Participants in higher step groups performed better at the end on tests of sustained attention, distraction filtering and decision making involving future rewards. Each additional 1,000 daily steps was associated with better performance.
