NCT ID NCT05655325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple home-based walking program can boost memory, thinking skills, and brain structure in older adults (over 55) who have both chronic kidney disease and mild cognitive impairment. Over 6 months, participants will either walk regularly or receive health education. The goal is to see if exercise can slow or improve age-related cognitive decline.
