Energy balance

An increase in total MVPA from baseline to year 4 (≥63.2 min/week) is associated with a 33% lower risk of progression to CKD compared to the largest MVPA reduction (<−198.3 min/week).

Encouraging increases in physical activity can significantly lower the risk of chronic kidney disease in this population.

Moreover, an increase in total MVPA from baseline to year 4 (the fourth quartile, ≥63.2 min/week) was associated with a 33% lower risk of progression to CKD compared with the largest MVPA reduction (the first quartile, <−198.3 min/week).
