Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The assessment of functional capacity was performed using the sit-and-stand test (TSL) for 30 seconds. For its realization, a chair without support for upper limbs was used, with seat height of 43.2 cm. The chair was placed against the wall to prevent it from moving during the test, thereby avoiding any unforeseen events. The test started with the participants seated, their backs straight, feet approximately shoulder-width apart and arms close to the chest. When the initial “go” signal was given, the participant stood and then returned to his original sitting position. Participants were encouraged to complete as many repetitions as possible for a period of 30s. Before starting the test, a practical test of repetition for familiarization was performed, followed by the test. The score was the total number of repetitions performed correctly in 30 seconds, with repetitions performed incorrectly not counted. | — |

|---|---|
| Body composition measures (total body fat, trunk, leg, arm, lean mass, fat mass, android and gynoid) were evaluated using the Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Dual Energy X-ray Absorptometry technique, using equipment Lunar Prodigy Advance from General Electric Company ©, with effective radiation emission of 1 to 5 ?Gy (Micro Grays) per exam, equivalent to natural radiation of = 5 to 8 ?Gy. The evaluation took place with the subject lying in the supine position, wearing light clothes without metal parts, as well as props (watch, earrings, rings, etc.) and barefoot, centered on the equipment platform, within the scanned area, with arms outstretched along the body, hands open, palms facing the body, thumb up and legs were immobilized with a velcro band. To perform the exam, the following recommendations were followed: fasting of food and water in the previous two hours, and not performing physical activity in the previous 24 hours. In relation to the equipment, it was previously calibrated before any analysis and, afterwards, information regarding weight, height and age was inserted in the software.;From the blood samples of the patients, monthly collected total cholesterol (TC) triglycerides (TG), high and low density lipoproteins (HDL-C and LDL-C) were analyzed using the enzymatic colorimetric method according to the specifications of the manufacturer of Roche automated equipment (Hitachi 917 automated, Switzerland);The quality of life assessment was performed using the Kidney Disease and Quality of Life - Short Form (KDQOL SF-36) instrument, which quantitatively assesses the patients' level of quality of life, previously translated, validated and adapted. This instrument includes the SF-36 (Short Form - 36 Item Health Survey), which is an instrument for the general assessment of QOL, plus 43 DRC items. The SF-36 is composed of 36 items, divided into eight dimensions: physical functioning (10 items); limitations caused by physical health problems (four items) | — |
