Gender Differences in Socio-Demographic Factors Associated with Pre-Frailty in Japanese Rural Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo prevent frailty, it is necessary to focus on pre-frailty and consider preventive interventions that incorporate social aspects. This study aimed to explore socio-demographic associations with pre-frailty, focusing on modifiable social factors among community-dwelling older adults in a rural Japanese city.
methodsWe conducted a self-administered survey on social, physical, and mental factors, and basic attributes, in September 2021. Respondents were classified as frail, pre-frail, or healthy according to their The Kihon Checklist scores. Of the 494 valid responses, 93 respondents classified as pre-frail and 110 as healthy were analyzed. The socio-demographic associations with pre-frailty were investigated by multiple logistic regression, and interactions between gender and other factors were examined.
resultsThe analysis identified that for both genders, no-community participation in middle age (odds ratio [OR], 1.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.16-2.92) was found to be a social factor associated with pre-frailty. Having friends who listen to one's concerns (OR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.26-5.10) was a factor for women.
conclusionsThis study showed that modifiable social factors associated with pre-frailty were community involvement and being able to share concerns with friends. The findings suggest the need for support that emphasizes social aspects to prevent pre-frailty.
