Is higher physical activity associated with less fatigue and insomnia among patients on hemodialysis?
Higher physical activity is associated with less fatigue and insomnia in hemodialysis patients, suggesting it could be considered as a management approach despite the inability to prove causality.
Because the study was cross-sectional, we cannot determine whether physical activity lowers fatigue and insomnia or whether less insomnia and fatigue increase physical activity. However, interventions to increase physical activity should be considered alongside current strategies as a possible approach to managing fatigue and insomnia.
