Chronic kidney disease, physical activity and cognitive function in older adults-results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2014).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairment is common among persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD), due in part to reduced kidney function. Given that physical activity (PA) is known to mitigate cognitive decline, we examined whether associations between CKD stage and global/domain-specific cognitive function differ by PA.

Methods

We leveraged 3223 participants (≥60 years of age) enrolled in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2011-2014), with at least one measure of objective cognitive function [immediate recall (CERAD-WL), delayed recall (CERAD-DR), verbal fluency (AF), executive function/processing speed (DSST), global (average of four tests) or self-perceived memory decline (SCD)]. We quantified the association between CKD stage {no CKD: estimated glomerular
