Primary outcomePrimary: Steps Taken Per Day by Using an Activity Tracker — 4710; 5708; 4157; 4981 average of steps per day
Summary
Inactivity is a common problem among older kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and is associated with their high incidence of obesity and cardiovascular problems which are the leading cause of death for KTRs. However, the combination of SystemCHANGE activity trackers holds promise for increasing physical activity of KTR patients post-surgery.
This pilot study will incorporate Fitbit health trackers with an intervention of questions about influences to physical activity in a population of kidney transplant recipients who are at particularly high risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
