@paulg is saying it's a binary black/white issue. Just that there's a correlation between steps and lower mortality rates. Also, healthier body weight would be strongly correlated with steps taken.

The closer you are to death, probably the less steps you’re able to make

If you're younger and healthier it more likely that you'll be able to walk more as compared to people who are older, no? Maybe this graph isn't the whole story.
