Quality matters: chronic kidney disease progressively impacts muscle strength independently of changes in skeletal muscle mass

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly associated with multifactorial neuromuscular impairment. Few studies have investigated CKD-induced changes in maximal voluntary force (MVF), and even fewer have longitudinal follow-up. The aim of this study is to investigate whether CKD progression modifies the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and force and the prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.
