For Kidney Patients Over 65, Moving More and Sitting Less Tied to Longer Life

Key Insight

This study suggests older kidney patients who stay active and sit less may live longer.


People with kidney disease face a higher risk of dying early. This study found that hitting exercise and sit-less targets was linked to roughly half the risk of death. The benefit was strongest in those over 65. Meeting the sleep target alone didn't move the needle much.
