La cifra se originó en Japón durante los años 60 como una estrategia comercial vinculada al lanzamiento del podómetro manpo-kei en el contexto de los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio. Su objetivo era incentivar a la población a caminar más de los 5000 a 6000 pasos diarios habituales.

Este dato es relevante para personas sedentarias o con limitaciones físicas.
