Does apple health track calories burned by walking up stairs?

I’m just curious if Apple Health/Apple Watch tracks calories burned per flight of stairs, or only flights of stairs climbed.

Apple Watch activity rings In the newest apple update (16.4) how do I tell how many calories are burned for the day? I’ve just gone back to wearing my watch and trying to monitor this closely but the activity app and the health app seem to be different and I’m having trouble locating this information.

Apple Watch Move active calorie measurements inaccurate (too high) My Apple Health/Fitness apps are reporting much higher active calories burned than expected. For example, I work in an office and have very little activity while at work. Today it is showing that I have less than 3,000 steps, but have burned almost 400 active calories. Additionally, I have my Apple Health app linked to MyFitnessPal. In MyFitnessPal, I'm showing that my daily calorie adjustment for burned calories is only 45 calories. Why are Health/Fitness apps showing such higher calories burned than expected while MyFitnessPal is only showing 45? And where are the 45 calories coming from?

Apple Health app “active energy” calories disagrees with Watch Fitness Move calories The difference is usually small, but in the last few days the discrepancy has become huge. For example: Feb 23: 381 calories in Health App 797 calories in Fitness/Move app Feb 22: 325 calories in Health App 678 calories in Fitness/Move Both claim to be using my Apple Watch for tracking my active calories. This is really annoying because (among other reasons) my insurance plan uses my *Health* app calories to determine how active I am, and if I’m above a certain threshold, they’ll pay for my Watch payment. So it actually costs me money that Apple suddenly can’t figure out what my active energy is.
