骨关节炎(osteoarthritis,OA)最好的治疗手段是运动。但太少太多都不好。到底多少合适呢?
发表在本期(6月刊)Arthritis Care & Research的一项新研究给出了具体的量:
每天至少要走6千步( ≥ 6000 steps/day )。6千步为下限,少于6千则效果不显著。每走1千步,以后残疾风险降低16-18%。步行大约1千步/10分钟,所以每天走1小时最佳。

Results: Among 1788 participants (mean age 67, mean BMI 31 kg/m2, female 60%), each additional 1000 steps/day was associated with a 16% and 18% reduction in incident functional limitation by performance-based and self-report measures, respectively. Walking < 6000 and < 5900 steps/day were the best thresholds to distinguish incident functional limitation by performance-based (67.3%/71.8% [sensitivity/specificity]) and self-report (58.7%/68.9%) measures, respectively.
