Clinical determinants of reduced physical activity in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients.

Better physical activity was consistently associated with younger age, lower presence of comorbidities and better nutritional status. Pedometers represent a simple and inexpensive tool to objectively evaluate physical activity in this patient population.
