Summary
This study tested a tailored lifestyle counseling program for 120 adults with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participants received personalized advice based on their readiness to change, focusing on diet, exercise, and kidney health knowledge. The goal was to see if this program could improve kidney function, waist and hip measurements, health behaviors, and quality of life over 30 months compared to usual care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help people with early-stage chronic kidney disease adopt healthier habits and slow kidney function decline.
