Quantitative gait markers and the TUG time in chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor gait performance results in more fall incidents among people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is unknown what specific quantitative gait markers contribute to high fall risk in CKD and the size of their mediation effects.

Methods

We included 634 participants from the Taizhou Imaging Study who had complete gait and laboratory data. Quantitative gait assessment was conducted with a wearable insole-like device. Factor analysis was utilized to summarize fifteen highly correlated individual parameters into five independent gait domains. Prevalent CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m², which was calculated based on cystatin C. Regression models were created to examine the associations of prevalent
