Self-reported Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Events in Adults With CKD: Findings From the CRIC (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort) Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

In the general population, there is an association between higher levels of physical activity and lower risk for cardiovascular events and mortality, but this relationship has not been well evaluated in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated the association between self-reported physical activity and outcomes in a CKD cohort.

Study design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

3,926 participants in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study.

Exposure

Time-updated self-reported physical activity assessed by (1) quartile of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and (2) meeting guideline-recommended level of physical activity (categorized as active, meeting guidelines; active, not meeting guidelines; or inact
