Abstract

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome represents a new framework to address the non-communicable disease burden in ageing populations. However, evidence on the association between physical activity and the integrated CKM syndrome is scarce, particularly among older Asian adults. We aimed to investigate this association in a large sample of older Chinese adults.

Research summary

The paper claims that there is an association between physical activity and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome in older Chinese adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between lifestyle factors and a syndrome that encompasses multiple age-related health issues, potentially contributing to understanding how to mitigate the burden of non-communicable diseases in aging populations.
