Association of kidney function with physical performance: the Maastricht study

CONCLUSIONS: Reduced eGFR and higher albuminuria levels were associated with worse physical performance, especially shorter 6-min walk distance and lower muscle strength. The relationship between eGFR and physical function was non-linear, with also high eGFR values being associated with worse performance, especially in the six-minute walk test.PMID:38594601 | DOI:10.1007/s40620-024-01933-8
