Purpose

Physical activity is associated with prognosis in older adults with chronic kidney disease (chronic kidney disease).

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 114 outpatients recruited between June 2023 and June 2024.

n = 114 participants

Results

peritoneal dialysis patients walked least of all ckd stages

More results

Physical activity declined with disease progression and was lowest in the peritoneal dialysis group.

Median moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (min/week) was 75, 40, and 32.5, respectively, remaining below recommended levels in all groups.

More results

In the peritoneal dialysis group, higher exercise self-efficacy was independently associated with greater moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and step counts.

Conclusion · 1 of 3

Physical activity declined with chronic kidney disease progression, reaching low levels among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Conclusion · 2 of 3

In this group, exercise self-efficacy was associated with physical activity, suggesting its relevance when developing strategies to support activity.

Conclusion · 3 of 3

Further research should identify appropriate ways to encourage physical activity in aging chronic kidney disease populations.
