Aerobic exercise capacity is maintained over a 5-year period in mild-to-moderate chronic kidney disease: a longitudinal study

Table 5 Odds ratios for change in physical activity (PA) level between baseline and 5-year follow-up

	Odds ratio	Confidence interval	P-value
^aCKD: Follow-up vs. baseline	2.12	1.26–3.56	0.005
^bControls: Follow-up vs. baseline	0.54	0.35–0.84	0.006
^cCKD vs. controls at baseline	0.42	0.21–0.86	0.02
^dCKD vs. controls at follow-up	1.66	0.77–3.63	0.2

CKD chronic kidney disease
^aCKD: Odds for increased PA at follow-up compared with baseline
^bControls: Odds for increased PA at follow-up compared with baseline
^cOdds for higher PA in CKD group compared with controls at baseline
^dOdds for higher PA in CKD group compared with controls at follow-up. Results are analysed using a generalized estimation equation. The results are based on 188 observations from 106 subjects. P-value: chi-square test
