Physical activity and risk of chronic kidney disease: systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 cohort studies involving 1,281,727 participants
Maintaining a physically active lifestyle may be a potent weapon to combat the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
This study dissected the body of evidence supporting the protective effect of regular physical activity against the occurrence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Data from 12 studies that examined more than 1.2 million individuals were thoroughly analyzed for this study.
Data analysis revealed that routine participation in physical activity slashed an individual's likelihood of developing chronic kidney disease. This study concluded that "in the general population, individuals who are most physically active have a lowered risk of CKD compared to those who are not or least physically active."
