Daily Step Counts in Participants With and Without Peripheral Artery Disease.

CONCLUSIONS: Participants with symptomatic PAD had a 29% lower daily step count compared with age- and sex-matched controls, and were less likely to attain the 7000 and 10 000 steps/d goals. Additionally, participants who were least likely to meet the 7000 and 10 000 daily step count recommendations included those who were older, currently smoked, had diabetes, and had higher body mass index.
