## Summary

People with kidney disease face a higher risk of dying early. This study found that hitting exercise and sit-less targets was linked to roughly half the risk of death. The benefit was strongest in those over 65. Meeting the sleep target alone didn't move the needle much.

## Practical Takeaway

This study suggests older kidney patients who stay active and sit less may live longer.
