[Purpose] The objectives of this study were to measure the physical and mental functions of elderly Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and to investigate their relationships with activities of daily living (ADL). [Subjects and Methods] The grip strength (GF), knee extension strength (KEF), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), 10-meter walking speed (10mWV), SPPB, FIM and MMSE of 23 of PD patients aged over 65 (average age: 73.6 ± 5.3 years) were measured. The proportions of results below the standard level were calculated for each item, and the relationship of each item with FIM was investigated. [Results] More than half of the patients’ GF, KEF and 6MWD values were lower than the standard values. Significant relationships with FIM were found for 10mWV (r=0.48), SPPB (r=0.52), and MMSE (r=0.49). [Conclusion] The low physical function levels of the elderly PD patients in this study were related to their ADL abilities, and we consider that maintaining or raising physical function is necessary for maintaining ADL.
