Background: The evaluation of physical activity for chronic hemodialysis patients is a new approach for the patient global care. The objective of this work is to evaluate the physical activity in chronic hemodialysis patients and identify the risk factors associated with reduced physical activity. Methods: This is a prospective study during 6 months including 150 chronic hemodialysis patients in the Guelmim-Oued Noun Regionin moroccan sahara. We use Baecke's survey, translated and validated in Arabic local language. The socio-demographic, Clinical and biological data were completed during the interrogation and from the medical records of the patients. Results: The mean age of our patients was 54.6 +/- 16.4 years, with male predominance (59%). Most patients have a low education level and 60% were illiterate. Hypertension was found in 54% of our patients, diabetes in 39% and cardiovascular disease in 10% of patients. Low Physical activity was associated with gender (OR=4.05), age (OR=1.03) and education level (OR=0.2). Conclusions: Our work has met the various pre-established objectives, however other more specific studies must be conducted to better characterize the profile of physical activity in chronic hemodialysis patients.
