Abstract

SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE AND LOSS OF AUTONOMY IN CHRONIC HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS: AN UNDERESTIMATED REALITY

ABSTRACT

Assessing physical activity and functional autonomy in chronic hemodialysis patients is crucial for optimizing their management and improving their quality of life. This single-center, descriptive and analytical study, conducted on 40 hemodialysis patients, aimed to measure their walking perimeter using a pedometer and to evaluate their functional autonomy via the SMAF (Functional Autonomy Measurement System) scale. The results revealed a high prevalence of sedentary behavior (52.5%) and reduced autonomy, influenced by factors such as sex, age, anemia, and disturbances in calcium-phosphate balance. A significant correlation was found between physical activity level and duration on hemodialysis (P < 0.05), highlighting the negative impact of prolonged dialysis on patient mobility.
