Background

Adults with CKD spend over 60% of their waking time sedentary, but less is known about when during the 24-hour day most sedentary time occurs. We examined distribution of within-day sedentary time among adults with CKD and explored differences by demographic and health characteristics.

Methods

This is a secondary analysis of baseline data (n=21) from a feasibility study evaluating a sedentary-reducing intervention in adults with CKD. Sedentary behavior was evaluated with the activPAL inclinometer. Waking sedentary time (sleep time removed) was examined during four time periods, and distribution was explored by gender, employment status, and CKD Stage with independent samples t-tests.

Results

Mean age was 59.7 yrs., 76% were women, 57% were employed, and 86% had CKD Stage 3. Mean waking sedentary time was 11.75 hours/day. Most sedentary time occurred in the afternoon and evening. Men, those who were retired, and those with CKD Stage 4 each had the highest amount of sedentary time occur in the evening. Women, those who were employed, and those with CKD Stage 3 each had the highest amount of sedentary time occur in the afternoon.

Conclusion

Adults with CKD tend to accumulate their sedentary time during the afternoon and evening. These exploratory findings support that sedentary-reducing interventions for those with CKD should focus on reallocating sedentary time to non-sedentary activities that are feasible during the afternoon and evening.
