Popis: Abstract Physical performance in hemodialysis patients declines and serves as a cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality predictor. However, lower extremity function's role remains unclear. This study aimed to quantify the association between lower extremity function and CVD risk in hemodialysis patients. This was a multicenter cross‐sectional study enrolling 868 participants (532 males, 336 females) from seven hemodialysis centers in Shanghai, China. Patients were divided into three groups per lower extremity function, evaluated by short physical performance battery (SPPB) scores: 0–6, 7–9, and 10–12. Upper extremity function was quantified through grip strength assessment. CVD risk was assessed using the Framingham Risk Score. Approximately 35% of hemodialysis patients had impaired lower extremity function (SPPB score
