The associations of weekend warrior and other physical activity patterns with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in people with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease: from NHANES 2007-2020. Int Urol Nephrol 2024; 56:1703-1712. [PMID: 37955818 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-023-03863-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the associations of the weekend warrior and other physical activity (PA) patterns with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS This study pooled the data from NHANES 2007-2020. Participants with DM and CKD were included. PA was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. According to the characteristics of recreational activities, individuals were categorized as inactive (no activities), insufficiently active (total PA duration < 150 min/week), weekend warrior (total PA duration ≥ 150 min/week for 1-2 sessions), and regularly active (total PA duration ≥ 150 min/week for ≥ 3 sessions). Weighted Cox regression models with adjusting sociodemographic, behavioral, and metabolic factors were performed to investigate the relationship of PA patterns with all-cause and CVD mortality risk. Stratification and interaction analyses were further performed. RESULTS Among 1702 participants (46.53% female; 64 ± 0.46 years old), 536 died (163 cardiovascular) during the follow-up of 68 (39-104) months. The hazard ratio (HR) of all-cause death was 0.618 (95% CI 0.406-0.942) for insufficiently active PA pattern, 0.338 (95% CI 0.116-0.988) for weekend warrior PA pattern, and 0.536 (95% CI 0.395-0.726) for regularly active PA pattern compared with inactive PA pattern. HR of CVD death was 0.545 (95% CI 0.250-1.189) for the PA pattern of insufficiently active, 0.165 (95% CI 0.020-1.343) for weekend warrior, and 0.393 (95% CI 0.218-0.710) for regularly active compared with the inactive PA pattern. The associations present no difference in subgroups. Moreover, there was no discernible difference between weekend warrior and regularly active PA patterns for all-cause and CVD deaths. The risk of death declined relatively quickly When exercise was initiated and to a total of 450 min or 4 times per week. CONCLUSION In a population of DM and CKD, the weekend warrior pattern was similar to regular activity to lower the risk of all-cause mortality, compared with inactivity. The weekend warrior pattern was recommended for people who only have time to exercise on the weekend. However, longer and larger sample cohort studies are needed to validate our findings.

Abstract
Background Grip strength has been shown to be associated with chronic renal insufficiency, but the relationship between grip strength and albuminuria has not been confirmed. In this study, we used NHANES data to explore the association between grip strength and albuminuria in a US population. Methods In this analytical study, we utilized data sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), specifically spanning the years 2011 to 2014. The dataset included 9,638 participants aged 20 years or older. After adjusting for potential confounders, multiple regression models were developed to infer the interrelationship between grip strength and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR), and subgroup analyses were conducted. Results After adjusting for all covariates, ACR by 0.49 mg/g [-0.49 (95% CI: -0.93, -0.04)] for each 1 kg increase in grip strength decreased. Subgroup analysis showed that gender, age, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index did not influence the negative correlation between grip strength and albuminuria. Conclusion There is a negative correlation between grip strength and albuminuria in the general U.S. population.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is high in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most patients reveal a high prevalence of CV risk factors such as diabetes or arterial hypertension and many have manifest cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure with an increased risk of clinical events including sudden cardiac death. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension contribute to the development of CKD and the prevalence of CKD is in the range of 20%-65% in diabetic and 30%-50% in hypertensive patients. Therefore, prevention and optimal treatment of CV risk factors and comorbidities are key strategies to reduce CV risk and improve survival in CKD. Beyond common CV risk factors, patients with CKD are often physically inactive and have low physical function leading to subsequent frailty with muscle fatigue and weakness, sarcopenia and increased risk of falling. Consequently, the economic health burden of CKD is high, requiring feasible strategies to counteract this vicious cycle. Regular physical activity and exercise training have been shown to be effective in improving risk factors, reducing CVD and reducing frailty and falls. Nonetheless, combining exercise training and a healthy lifestyle with pharmacological treatment is not frequently applied in clinical practice. For that reason, this Clinical Consensus Statement reviews the current literature and provides evidence-based data regarding the role of exercise training in reducing CV and overall burden in patients with CKD. The aim is to increase awareness among cardiologists, nephrologists, and health care professionals of the potential of exercise therapy in order to encourage implementation of exercise training in clinical practice, eventually reducing CV risk and disease, as well as reducing frailty in patients with CKD G3 to G5D.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes, and its progression is influenced by factors like oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death, and fibrosis. Compared to drug treatment, exercise offers a cost-effective and low-risk approach to slowing down DN progression. Through multiple ways and mechanisms, exercise helps to control blood sugar and blood pressure and reduce serum creatinine and albuminuria, thereby alleviating kidney damage. This review explores the beneficial effects of exercise on DN improvement and highlights its potential mechanisms for ameliorating DN. In-depth understanding of the role and mechanism of exercise in improving DN would pave the way for formulating safe and effective exercise programs for the treatment and prevention of DN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the long-term association of objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and its longitudinal changes with progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight/obesity. METHODS This study included 1746 participants in the Look AHEAD trial with baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2. MVPA was measured at baseline, year 1, year 4 and year 8 using an RT3 accelerometer. The outcome was progression to CKD, defined as eGFR<60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 with a drop of ≥30% or end-stage kidney disease. Cox hazards models were fitted to examine the association between MVPA and outcomes. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 12.0 years, 567 participants experienced progression to CKD. Overall, there was a linear inverse association of cumulative average total MVPA (per 100 min/week higher amount, HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.96) and MVPA accumulated in bouts of ≥10 min (per 100 minutes/week higher amount, HR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.72 to 0.91) with progression to CKD. 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). A lower risk of progression to CKD was also observed for increases in MVPA accumulated in bouts of both <10 min and ≥10 min. CONCLUSIONS Longer MVPA time and increases in MVPA was associated with a reduced risk of progression to CKD in adults with overweight/obesity and T2D.

Association of domain-specific physical activity with albuminuria among prediabetes and diabetes: a large cross-sectional study. J Transl Med 2024; 22:252. [PMID: 38459493 PMCID: PMC10921818 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-05061-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Albuminuria, the presence of excess of protein in urine, is a well-known risk factor for early kidney damage among diabetic/prediabetic patients. There is a complex interaction between physical activity (PA) and albuminuria. However, the relationship of specific-domain PA and albuminuria remained obscure. METHODS Albuminuria was defined as urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) > 30 mg/g. PA was self-reported by participants and classified into transportation-related PA (TPA), occupation-related PA (OPA), and leisure-time PA (LTPA). Weighted logistic regression was conducted to compute the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to evaluate the dose-response of PA domains with the risk of albuminuria. RESULTS A total of 6739 diabetic/prediabetic patients (mean age: 56.52 ± 0.29 years) were enrolled in our study, including 3181 (47.20%) females and 3558 (52.80%) males. Of them, 1578 (23.42%) were identified with albuminuria, and 5161(76.58%) were without albuminuria. Diabetic/prediabetic patients who adhered the PA guidelines for total PA had a 22% decreased risk of albuminuria (OR = 0.78, 95%CI 0.64-0.95), and those met the PA guidelines for LTPA had a 28% decreased of albuminuria (OR = 0.72, 95%CI 0.57-0.92). However, OPA and TPA were both not associated with decreased risk of albuminuria. RCS showed linear relationship between the risk of albuminuria with LTPA. CONCLUSIONS Meeting the PA guideline for LTPA, but not OPA and TPA, was inversely related to the risk of albuminuria among diabetic/prediabetic patients. Additionally, achieving more than 300 min/week of LTPA conferred the positive effects in reducing albuminuria among diabetic/prediabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical inactivity has been identified as a risk factor for multiple disorders and a strong association exists between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a sedentary lifestyle. Even though physical activity is crucial in the development and progression of disease, the general focus of the current medical practice is the pharmacological perspective of diseases with inadequate emphasis on lifestyle intervention. METHODS In this narrative review we explain the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of physical exercise on CKD in addition to discussing the clinical studies and trials centred on physical exercise in patients with CKD. RESULTS Physical activity influences several pathophysiological mechanisms including inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular function, immune response and macromolecular metabolism. While exercise can initially induce stress responses like inflammation and oxidative stress, long-term physical activity leads to protective countermeasures and overall improved health. Trials in pre-dialysis CKD patients show that exercise can lead to reductions in body weight, inflammation markers and fasting plasma glucose. Furthermore, it improves patients' functional capacity, cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life. The effects of exercise on kidney function have been inconsistent in these trials. In haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplant patients exercise interventions improve cardiorespiratory fitness, walking capacity and quality of life. Combined training shows the best performance to increase peak oxygen uptake in haemodialysis patients. In kidney transplant recipients, exercise improves walking performance, quality of life and potentially arterial stiffness. However, exercise does not affect glucose metabolism, serum cholesterol and inflammation biomarkers. Long-term, adequately powered trials are needed to determine the long-term feasibility, and effects on quality of life and major clinical outcomes, including mortality and cardiovascular risk, in all CKD stages and particularly in kidney transplant patients, a scarcely investigated population. CONCLUSION Physical exercise plays a crucial role in ameliorating inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular function, immune response and macromolecular metabolism, and contributes significantly to the quality of life for patients with CKD, irrespective of the treatment and stage. Its direct impact on kidney function remains uncertain. Further extensive, long-term trials to conclusively determine the effect of exercise on major clinical outcomes such as mortality and cardiovascular risk remain a research priority.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among those without cardiovascular disease remains unclear. We aim to establish temporal consistency and elucidate the independent relationship between RHR and the risk of ESRD. METHODS AND RESULTS This cohort enrolled participants from 476 347 individuals who had taken part in a screening program from 1996 to 2017. We identified 2504 participants who had ESRD, and the median follow-up was 13 years. RHR was extracted from electrocardiography results, and the study assessed the relationship between RHR and the risk of ESRD using the Cox proportional hazards model. Of the participants, 32.6% had an RHR of 60 to 69 beats per minute (bpm), and 22.2% had an RHR of ≥80 bpm. Participants with an RHR of ≥80 bpm had a higher stage of chronic kidney disease, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate, and more proteinuria than those with an RHR of 60 to 69 bpm. Participants with an RHR of 80 to 89 and ≥90 bpm had a 24% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24 [95% CI, 1.09-1.42]) and 64% (HR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.42-1.90]) higher risk of ESRD, respectively. The risk of ESRD remained significantly elevated (HR, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.10-1.58] per 10-beat increase from 60 bpm) after excluding participants who smoked; had hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia; or were overweight. CONCLUSIONS An RHR of ≥80 bpm is significantly associated with an increased risk of ESRD. These results suggest that RHR may serve as a risk factor for kidney disease in individuals without established cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Abstract
Muscle wasting (ie, atrophy) is a serious consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that reduces muscle strength and function. It reduces the quality of life for CKD patients and increases the risks of comorbidities and mortality. Current treatment strategies to prevent or reverse skeletal muscle loss are limited owing to the broad and systemic nature of the initiating signals and the multifaceted catabolic mechanisms that accelerate muscle protein degradation and impair protein synthesis and repair pathways. Recent evidence has shown how organs such as muscle, adipose, and kidney communicate with each other through interorgan exchange of proteins and RNAs during CKD. This crosstalk changes cell functions in the recipient organs and represents an added dimension in the complex processes that are responsible for muscle atrophy in CKD. This complexity creates challenges for the development of effective therapies to ameliorate muscle wasting and weakness in patients with CKD.

Abstract
To determine the effect of aerobic exercise in different intensities on renal injury and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in the kidney of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and explore possible mechanisms, we subjected SHR to different levels of 14-week aerobic treadmill training. We tested the effects of aerobic exercise on irisin level, renal function, and EMT modulators in the kidney. We also treated angiotensin II-induced HK-2 cells with irisin and tested the changes in EMT levels. The data showed low and moderate aerobic exercise improved renal function and inhibited EMT through promoting irisin expression in SHR. However, high-intensity exercise training had no effect on renal injury and EMT in SHR but did significantly activate STAT3 phosphorylation in the kidney. These results clarify the mechanisms of exercise in improving hypertension-related renal injury and suggest that irisin might be a therapeutic target for patients with kidney injury.

Abstract
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is projected to become a leading global cause of death by 2040, and its early detection is critical for effective and timely management. The current definition of CKD identifies only advanced stages, when kidney injury has already destroyed >50% of functioning kidney mass as reflected by an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or a urinary albumin/creatinine ratio >six-fold higher than physiological levels (i.e. > 30 mg/g). An elevated urinary albumin-excretion rate is a known early predictor of future cardiovascular events. There is thus a ‘blind spot’ in the detection of CKD, when kidney injury is present but is undetectable by current diagnostic criteria, and no intervention is made before renal and cardiovascular damage occurs. The present review discusses the CKD ‘blind spot’ concept and how it may facilitate a holistic approach to CKD and cardiovascular disease prevention and implement the call for albuminuria screening implicit in current guidelines. Cardiorenal risk associated with albuminuria in the high-normal range, novel genetic and biochemical markers of elevated cardiorenal risk, and the role of heart and kidney protective drugs evaluated in recent clinical trials are also discussed. As albuminuria is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and renal disease, starting from levels not yet considered in the definition of CKD, the implementation of opportunistic or systematic albuminuria screening and therapy, possibly complemented with novel early biomarkers, has the potential to improve cardiorenal outcomes and mitigate the dismal 2040 projections for CKD and related cardiovascular burden.

The Association between Leisure-Time Physical Activity Intensity and Duration with the Risk of Mortality in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease with or without Cardiovascular Diseases. Rev Cardiovasc Med 2022; 23:244. [PMID: 39076900 PMCID: PMC11266840 DOI: 10.31083/j.rcm2307244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 07/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction For chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with or without cardiovascular diseases, the associations between leisure-time physical activity intensity (LTPA) and daily exercise time with mortality risk remain unclear. Method This study enrolled 3279 CKD patients from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2014 survey. Patients were grouped into different groups according to LTPA intensity (none, moderate, vigorous) and duration (0 min, 0-30 min, 30-60 min, > 60 min). We selected the confounders based on their connections with the outcomes of interest or a change in effect estimate of more than 10%. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine the associations between LTPA and mortality. The three-knot cubic spline (10, 50, and 90%) was employed to investigate the relationship between the dose of LTPA duration and all-cause death. Patients were divided into different groups according to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Results A total of 564 all-cause death were recorded in this study. Multivariable Cox regression showed that moderate LTPA was associated with a reduced risk of mortality by 38% (hazard ratio (HR): 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.44-0.88) in CKD patients, while vigorous LTPA did not have evident survival benefits (HR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.46-2.64). Subgroups analysis demonstrated that those who engaged in moderate LTPA have a significantly lower risk of mortality (HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.47-0.95) in patients without CVD, while patients complicated with CVD did not benefit from the practice (HR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.37-1.02). Physical exercise for more than 30 minutes was associated with a lower risk of mortality in general CKD patients (30-60 min: HR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.09-0.58, > 60 min: HR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.08-0.63) and those without CVD (30-60 min/d: HR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.12-0.83, > 60 min/d: HR: 0.20, 95% CI: 0.06-0.71); however, this positive outcome was not seen in patients complicated with CVD (30-60 min/d: HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.11-4.04, > 60 min/d: HR: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.14-9.11). Conclusions Moderate LTPA for more than 30 minutes is associated with a reduced risk of mortality in general CKD patients and those without CVD. However, LTPA did not reduce the risk of mortality in CKD patients complicated with CVD.
