19、t it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women t

20、o wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement.

22、ese older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured womens movements once, at the start of the study period.

31、s.The study took the role of the luxury item to see if it was possible that the expensive item itself played a part in peoples reactions.
