Sedentary Behavior in Older Adults With Preclinical Cognitive Impairment With and Without Chronic Kidney Disease
Abstract:
Older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment can have chronic conditions and lifestyle factors that influence health. Sedentary behavior is common in older adults with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objective of the current study was to determine the differences in sedentary behavior for older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment with and without CKD. Our study evaluated 48 older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment with and without CKD who underwent assessment of sedentary behavior via accelerometry. We found that older adults with preclinical cognitive impairment with and without CKD were sedentary, but there were no significant differences between groups. Fragmentation index was different (p < 0.05), with a lower fragmentation index found in those with CKD. Sedentary behavior should be assessed and evaluated as a potential target for interventions to improve health in these at-risk older adults; however, further investigation is needed.
