Article Abstract
Purpose Of Review: Low physical function, frailty, and sarcopenia are common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this article, we review the epidemiology and pathogenesis of low physical function, as well as its associations with adverse outcomes in CKD patients. Additionally, we present various traditional and novel methods for assessment of physical function in CKD patients.
Recent Findings: In nondialysis dependent (NDD) and dialysis-dependent CKD patients, the prevalence of low physical function, frailty, and sarcopenia are substantially higher than in the general population. The potential mechanisms of low physical function, frailty, and sarcopenia in CKD patients are due to various factors including underlying kidney disease, co-existing comorbidities, and certain therapeutic interventions utilized in CKD. Increasing evidence has also uncovered the ill effects of impaired physical function on clinical outcomes in CKD patients.
Summary: Routine assessment of physical function is an under-utilized yet important component in the management of CKD patients. Future studies are needed to determine how prescription of exercise and increased daily physical activity can be tailored to optimize the health and well-being of NDD and dialysis-dependent CKD patients in pursuit of successful aging.

Background: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a leading cause of global disability, contributing to substantial individual, social, and economic burdens. While antidepressant therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment, complementary lifestyle-based interventions, such as multimodal exercise and mindfulness, have shown promise in alleviating mood symptoms. However, their specific impact on sleep quality, a critical therapeutic target in MDD, remains underexplored.

Objective: To assess the simultaneity of risk behaviors for chronic non-communicable diseases and their association with individual and contextual characteristics in Brazilian adolescents.
Methods: Cross-sectional study using data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey. The simultaneity of factors of the consumption of ultra-processed foods, level of physical activity, smoking and alcohol use was analyzed, according to individual and contextual characteristics, estimating the odds ratios (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for fixed effects and variance and 95%CI for random effects, through multilevel polytomous logistic regression.

Objective: To verify the effect of physical exercise on the quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).
Methods: the sample included controlled and randomized experimental studies of individuals with LC, at any stage of the disease, over 18 years of age, of both sexes, who performed any type of physical exercise compared to any other intervention or no intervention, with quality of life as the outcome assessed by the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ). The search for articles was conducted in 11 databases.

Objective: Identify psychosocial risk factors for non-adherence to medication following liver transplantation.
Methods: We used the Medication Level Variability Index (MLVI) for the assessment of adherence in 52 subjects selected for a pre-transplant liver procedure and monitored them for 6 months following transplantation. Patients were divided into exposed and non-exposed groups according to adherence, and each group was analyzed using psychosocial variables: demographic characteristics, quality of life, impulsivity, resilience, anxiety and depression.
