Effects of Nutritional Supplementation Combined With Exercise Training on Frailty, Physical Function, and Quality of Life in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This review evaluates the effectiveness of nutritional supplementation combined with exercise training on frailty characteristics, physical function, and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus was conducted, identifying 7 articles (9 trials, 324 patients). Meta-analysis showed that combined interventions improved frailty characteristics, such as walking speed (mean difference: 0.

Association between the healthy eating index and anxiety among Chinese elderly: A population-based cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Given that few studies have examined the relationship between healthy eating and anxiety in older adults, this study aimed to assess the relationship between the healthy eating index and anxiety in an older adult population using the Chinese Longevity Health Survey (CLHLS).

Methods: A national cross-sectional study from the CLHLS in 2018. The healthy eating index was constructed based on the frequency of intake of 13 dietary variables.

Objectively measured daily steps as an outcome in a clinical trial of chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.

Background: Physical inactivity is prevalent among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is linked to unfavorable outcomes. In recent years, daily steps have emerged as a prominent target for interventions in clinical trials. The present study endeavors to scrutinize the effectiveness and/or efficacy of various interventions on daily steps in patients with full-spectrum CKD.

Physical function in children/adolescents with chronic kidney disease and the impact of exercise intervention: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Impaired physical function is relatively common in children/adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD), affecting not only patients' daily lives but also the efficiency of later treatment and rehabilitation. Exercise is a recognised intervention to improve physical function and quality of life in adult patients with CKD. However, implementing this strategy in paediatric/adolescent populations remains relatively limited.

Interventions to increase physical activity level in patients with whole spectrum chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Little is known about effective interventions to increase physical activity levels in this population. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of different interventions for physical activity levels in whole-spectrum CKD patients. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception to December 2022, with an update in March 2023.

Prevalence of physical frailty and impact on survival in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Frailty is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and becomes more prevalent as kidney disease progresses. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of physical frailty and quantify the relationship between frailty and mortality risk in patients with CKD.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Clinicaltrial.

Association between handgrip strength and depression among Chinese older adults: a cross-sectional study from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

Background: Muscle strength and depression have been identified as independent risk factors for mortality in the elderly population. This study aimed to quantify the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and depression in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: Research data were obtained from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).

Handgrip strength and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

Objectives: In observational studies, handgrip strength (HGS), a prognostic marker for healthy aging, has been associated with several chronic disease outcomes. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the quantitative relationship between HGS and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: Search PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases.

The "adult inactivity triad" in patients with chronic kidney disease: A review.

Background: The "pediatric inactivity triad" framework consists of three complex, interrelated conditions influencing physical inactivity and associated health risks. Evidence on the beneficial effects of physical activity in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to grow, but few studies have explored the complex interactions behind inactivity in this population.

Results: Based on the "pediatric inactivity triad" framework and prior research, we would like to propose a new concept, the "adult inactivity triad" in CKD, including (1) exercise deficit disorder, (2) sarcopenia, and (3) physical illiteracy.

Association between negative psychology and sleep quality in dialysis patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the sleep quality in dialysis patients during the COVID-19 epidemic and explore the association between negative psychology (including depression, anxiety, and stress) and sleep quality in this population.

Design: A cross-sectional study including three centres.

Methods (patients Or Public Contribution): This cross-sectional study included 378 dialysis patients from April to May 2022 in three dialysis centres in Shanghai.

Effect of exercise interventions for sleep quality in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Sleep disorder is a common and unpleasant symptom in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), bringing a heavy burden on the patients and families. As a non-pharmacological therapy, exercise interventions are widely recommended for CKD patients. However, whether exercise can improve overall sleep quality in such a population remains ambiguous.

Effect of respiratory muscle training in patients with chronic kidney disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, lung function, cardiopulmonary fitness, and quality of life for chronic kidney disease patients.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials published randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effect of respiratory muscle training for chronic kidney disease patients from inception to December 2021, and rerun on September 2022. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool-2.

Bibliometric analysis of the top-50 cited articles on COVID-19 and physical activity.

The Role of Physical Activity and Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients: A Review.

Available data indicated that physical activity was related to improved outcomes in hemodialysis patients. Multiple observational studies involving different cohorts have reported that increased physical activity level was associated with decreased mortality among hemodialysis patients. Therefore, promoting physical activity has become an increasingly critical and promising approach to improving cardiovascular health and clinical outcomes in hemodialysis patients.

Exercise is an efficient non-pharmacological intervention for chronic kidney disease. The study aims to evaluate the effects of Baduanjin exercise on physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Seventy PD patients were randomly assigned to either the Baduanjin exercise group or the control group.

The clinical efficacy of external application of mirabilite and rhubarb combined with intrathoracic chemotherapy in treating malignant pleural effusion: A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial.

Background: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is one of the commonest causes of an exudative pleural effusion. Breathlessness, dyspnea and other symptoms often seriously distress and affect the quality of life. The external application of mirabilite and rhubarb (EAMR) combined with intrathoracic infusion of cisplatin, as an alternative treatment for MPE, is popular in China.
