High blood pressure (BP) and diabetes have been suggested to be non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and they are components in the definition of metabolic syndrome. Further, several studies have reported that the risk of developing NCDs can be reduced by increased physical activity. In addition, a daily target of 10,000 steps has been generally suggested to increase physical activity in sedentary lifestyles. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an accumulation of 10,000 steps daily on BP and blood glucose in overweight participants.
Participants were recruited from males and females, aged 35-59 years, with sedentary lifestyles. A longitudinal quasi-experimental study was designed with 35 participants who had body mass indices ≥25 kg/m. These volunteers were assigned to the 12-week pedometer-based walking program (an accumulation of at least 10,000 steps daily). Blood glucose and BP were measured before and after the intervention.
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was significantly lower in 30 individuals who accumulated 10,000 steps daily (-13.74 mmHg). In addition, the reduction of blood glucose levels (-14.89 mg/dl) in the intervention participants was statistically significant ( < 0.001).
The accumulation of at least 10,000 steps daily resulted in decreased SBP and blood glucose in overweight Thai subjects. It could also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (e.g., hypertension and diabetes).
高血压和糖尿病被认为是非传染性疾病（NCDs），且它们是代谢综合征定义的组成部分。此外，多项研究报告称，增加身体活动可降低患非传染性疾病的风险。另外，一般建议将每日步行10000步作为目标，以增加久坐人群的身体活动量。因此，本研究的目的是确定超重参与者每日累积步行10000步对血压和血糖的影响。
从年龄在35 - 59岁、生活方式久坐的男性和女性中招募参与者。设计了一项纵向准实验研究，选取35名体重指数（BMI）≥25 kg/m²的参与者。这些志愿者被分配到基于计步器的12周步行计划（每日至少累积10000步）。在干预前后测量血糖和血压。
30名每日累积10000步的个体收缩压（SBP）显著降低（-13.74 mmHg）。此外，干预参与者的血糖水平降低（-14.89 mg/dl）具有统计学意义（P < 0.001）。
超重的泰国受试者每日至少累积10000步可导致收缩压和血糖降低。这也可能降低心血管疾病（如高血压和糖尿病）的风险。
