Question

among women, the number of steps daily is ______ correlated with the risk of death, up to about 7500 steps.
negatively
positively
not
variably

Explanation:

In general, more physical activity (represented by a higher number of steps) is associated with better health outcomes. A negative correlation means that as one variable (number of steps) increases, the other variable (risk of death) decreases. Since walking more steps (up to a certain point) is beneficial for health and likely reduces the risk of death, a negative correlation makes sense.

Answer:

A. negatively
