Association of accelerometer-derived "weekend warrior" moderate to vigorous physical activity, chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury.
To examine the relationship between an accelerometer-derived "weekend warrior" pattern, characterized by achieving the most moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) over 1-2 days, as opposed to more evenly distributed patterns, with risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). ⋯ Concentrated MVPA within 1 to 2 days is as effective as distributed ones in decreasing the risk of renal outcomes.
