Unhealthy lifestyle profile as a risk factor for poor quality of life and mental health in chronic kidney disease patients: a comparative case–control study

Compared to the healthy control group, CKD patients in this study reported more pain, physical complaints, and depression. A healthy lifestyle can be effective in the prevention and treatment of many physical and mental health problems. Compared to other treatments used for mental disorders, such as drug therapy or psychological therapy, lifestyle interventions can have long-lasting effects and tend to be more cost-effective for individuals.
