  Investigation of factors affecting the six-minute walk test results in hemodialysis patients.
■ 概要
  The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors that affect the 6MWT results in hemodialysis patients to assess their exercise tolerance. The study included 43 outpatients from the hemodialysis unit. The 6MWT was performed, and knee extension strength, 1‐leg standing time, and grip were measured. In addition, the subjects' characteristics such as age, preexisting coronary artery disease, hemoglobin level, total iron binding capacity, serum albumin level, creatinine generation rate, and normalized protein catabolic rate were investigated. A stepwise multiple regression model was used to examine the factors affecting the 6MWT results. Multiple regression analysis revealed that knee extension strength (β = 0.446, P = 0.001), total iron binding capacity (β = −0.299, P = 0.021), and preexisting coronary artery disease (β = −0.272, P = 0.035) significantly affected the 6MWT results (R = 0.66, R2 = 0.44).
