Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of physical activity on various aspects in Asian dialysis patients. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. Study participants were recruited from 27 hospitals or dialysis centers in Korea (n = 1611). The participants were divided into 3 groups according to the degree of regular exercise: Inactive group, Intermediate group, and Active group. RESULTS: The proportions of patients with frailty and the presence of each component decreased as physical activity increased. The presence and numbers of disabilities decreased as physical activity increased. The number of participants with a history of fall during the last 12 months was 149 (20.5%) in the Inactive group, 88 (16.9%) in the Intermediate group, and 48 (13.2%) in the Active group. Physical component scale and mental component scale scores increased as physical activity increased. The survival rate for all-cause death at 500 days was 95.5% in the Active group, 95.2% in the Intermediate group, and 93.5% in the Inactive group. CONCLUSION: High physical activity was associated with favorable results for most health-related quality of life scale scores, including frailty, disability, and exhaustion, in Korean dialysis patients.
