Philadelphia: Physical fitness and avoiding weight gain may help prevent kidney disease in obese adults.
According to media reports, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Medicine and Dornsife School of Public Health in Philadelphia published their findings in the journal ‘Obesity’.
Previous studies have found a link between weight gain and risk of chronic kidney disease, but this study looked at the relationship between physical fitness and risk of chronic kidney disease in obese people without diabetes or kidney disease, the study said. Shows the connection.
More than 40 percent of adults have obesity, which is a risk factor for kidney disease, said the study’s lead author, Dr. Meera Ann.
On the other hand, Dr. Harhey, professor of medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine, said that most studies that looked at the risk of kidney disease in obese adults had diabetes or other diseases, but the above study shows that Obese adults can develop kidney problems even if they do not have any underlying disease.
