Purpose Research examining the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is limited. Accordingly, we sought to: (1) describe the levels of physical activity (PA) in KTRs and (2) analyze the associations between PA levels and CVD risk factors in KTRs. Methods Baseline data from KTRs participants in a large multiethnic, multicenter trial (FAVORIT) were examined. PA was categorized in tertiles (low, moderate, high) derived from a modified PA summary score from the Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS). CVD risk factors were examined across levels of PA by ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis rank test and hierarchical multiple regression. Results The 4,034 participants were 37% female; averaged 51.9 ± 9.4 years of age; 75% White, 97% with stage 2T-4T Chronic Kidney Disease and 20% with prevalent CVD. Participants in the "high" PA tertile reported more vigorous PA and walking, compared to participants in moderate and low tertiles (both p
