According to research results cited by the American health and medical media 'WebMD' and conducted by the University of East Anglia in the UK, climbing stairs reduces the risk of premature death by 24% and the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and heart failure by 39%. The research team announced these findings after analyzing nine research papers conducted on approximately 500,000 people. These research results were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Conference (Preventive Cardiology 2024 Conference).
However, it seems that not many people regularly climb stairs.
The proportion of people in American shopping malls who choose to take the stairs instead of the escalator is approximately 2%. This is based on a study published in the Journal of Public Health in the United States, which tracked and observed customer behavior at two shopping malls that had both escalators and stairs. However, after posting a sign that said "Use the stairs for your health," the number of customers taking the stairs temporarily increased to 4.8% and 6.7%. According to previous research, about 36% of Americans are relatively inactive, and approximately 48% engage in only low levels of physical activity. Only about 16% of people follow the recommended guidelines for physical activity.
Climbing stairs is both an aerobic exercise and a strength training (muscle strengthening exercise). It can be easily done anytime if you set your mind to it. Most people of various age groups can do this good exercise freely in casual clothing without any additional cost, at places like apartment buildings, shopping malls, workplaces, and parks. According to previous research, regular stair climbing reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome (a collective term for various diseases that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes), improves heart and vascular health, and helps with weight loss.
Professor Basilios Vasilios from the University of East Anglia in the UK (Cardiology) said, "Climbing stairs can burn up to four times more calories than walking." Simulation analysis also indicates that a man weighing 77kg can burn over 500 kcal in an hour, and a woman weighing 64kg can burn over 450 kcal in an hour by climbing stairs.
