Examining Self-Reported Physical Activity Levels Among Kidney Disease Patients in the United States Using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Database: A Retrospective Study
Kidney disease patients in the United States who self-reported physical activity were found to have statistical significance between various demographic, socioeconomic, and last routine checkup variables. Prospectively, interventions must be designed to increase physical activity among kidney disease patients with a focus on high-risk demographic groups like older adults, people with lower socioeconomic status, and people who don't get regular checkups.
