First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a simple home-based walking program can help improve memory, thinking speed, and brain structure in older adults who have both chronic kidney disease and mild cognitive impairment. About 144 participants aged 55 and older will walk regularly for 6 months, and their results will be compared to those who receive only health education. The goal is to find an easy, drug-free way to support brain health in this high-risk group.
