A systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials found that patients in lifestyle modification programs for obesity management who increased daily steps to approximately 8,500 during weight loss phases and maintained those levels afterward achieved better long-term weight loss outcomes compared to control groups. The study suggests encouraging increased daily steps is a simple, feasible behavioral strategy for improving obesity treatment results.
