Why the study?
Patients on hemodialysis with multiple comorbidities have limited physical activity, leading to poor health and low quality of life, but differences in physical activity and HRQoL between patients with and without comorbidities needed investigation.
Does moderate-intensity physical activity improve health-related quality of life in patients on hemodialysis with comorbidities compared to low-intensity physical activity?
Population
120 patients on hemodialysis
Comparison
Patients with comorbidities vs without comorbidities, and moderate-intensity vs low-intensity physical activity
Design
Cross-sectional descriptive study

Moderate-intensity activity was associated with higher HRQoL in comorbid hemodialysis patients; leaves open causal effects and practice change.
Does moderate-intensity physical activity improve health-related quality of life in patients on hemodialysis with comorbidities compared to low-intensity physical activity?
Moderate-intensity physical activity is associated with higher health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients with comorbidities.
