The association of exercise and sedentary behaviours with incident end-stage renal disease: the Southern Community Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary time and physical activity, could independently contribute to risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Study design

Case-cohort study.

Setting

South-eastern USA.

Participants

The Southern Community Cohort Study recruited ~86 000 black and white participants from 2002 to 2009. We assembled a case cohort of 692 incident ESRD cases and a probability sample of 4113 participants.

Predictors

Sedentary time was calculated as hours/day from daily sitting activities. Physical activity was calculated as metabolic equivalent (MET)-hours/day from engagement in light, moderate and vigorous activities.

Outcomes

Incident ESRD.

Results

At baseline, among the subcohort, mean (SD) age was 52
