Omron Healthcare, Inc. Sponsors 10,000 Step Study
April 11, 2003 – Vernon Hills,
IL Results
from a 3-month and 44 patient study sponsored by Omron Healthcare, Inc.
and conducted by DiabetesInControl.com concluded that people with diabetes
who wear a pedometer and have a daily goal to become more active
throughout the day will see improvements in blood pressure, weight loss,
blood glucose, A1c, lipids, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and Triglycerides
levels.
DiabetesInControl.com enrolled diabetes educators, who in turn,
signed up patients with diabetes to complete the 3-month study. The study consisted of each
patient receiving an Omron pedometer to monitor their steps and making a
commitment to take 10,000 steps a day.
Each
patient documented the number of steps walked each day and reported back
to their educator each week with their total number of steps. Forty-four
patients completed the study with a total of over 30 million steps, which
is equivalent to almost 15,000 miles. The
average weight loss was 4.1 lbs., and the average drop in blood pressure
was –16 systolic / -4 diastolic.
If
you're one of those people who believe that only vigorous exercise, such
as jogging 2 miles counts toward fitness, you'd better think again. A
brisk walk can burn up to 100 calories per mile or 300 calories per
hour.
By
using an Omron pedometer, you'll be reminded to be more active throughout
the day. The Omron pedometer is inexpensive, easy to use and available at
many retail locations.
