Sport reduces the risk of death from chronic kidney disease

Patients practicing intense physical activity have moderate 56% to 42% lower risk of dying from the disease than patients affected by this disease and remain inactive.

Dr. Srinivasan Beddhu from the University of Utah (the United States), raised the question of whether the practice of physical activity could prolong the lives of patients with chronic kidney disease.

He conducted the study, accompanied by his colleagues, on 15,368 adults. Nearly 6% of them were suffering from chronic kidney disease.

After completing a questionnaire where they rated their physical activity, participants were separated into three groups, practicing 1 - little or no physical activity, 2 - insufficient physical activity, and 3 - intense.

Then the participants were followed for a period ranging between seven and nine years.

The researchers found that 28% of chronic kidney disease patients were inactive, compared with 13,5% of those without disease. Active and insufficiently active patients were 56 percent and 42 percent less likely to die during the study than inactive patients. Similar benefits related to physical activity have been observed in people without kidney disease.

“These data suggest that increased physical activity might have a survival benefit in the people with this disease,” said Dr. Srinivasan Beddhu.
