IntroductionThere is limited information about the relationship between physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, this study aims to explore the associations of accelerometer-measured PA and sedentary behaviors with CKD.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the 2003–2004 and 2005–2006 survey cycles. A uniaxial accelerometer measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST). The associations of PA and ST with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and odds of CKD adopted the generalized linear regression, multivariable logistic regression, and isotemporal substitution models.ResultsA total of 5,990 adults with 605 CKD patients were included in this study. Compared with the individuals in the first quartile group, participants in the fourth quartile of low-intensity physical activity (LIPA), moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and ST were associated with 52% (35%, 65%) and 42% (14%, 62%) lower odds of CKD and 64% (17%, 131%) higher odds of CKD, respectively. Substituting 30 min/day of ST with equivalent LIPA/MVPA contributed to risk reduction in CKD.DiscussionThe findings suggest that increased LIPA and MVPA and reduced ST were associated with a lower risk of CKD and that replacing ST with LIPA may decrease the risk of CKD.
