Exploring the association of lifestyle behaviors and healthy ageing among the older adults in India: evidence from LASI survey.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundUnderstanding health and developing trends among the older population is essential for countries to tackle the challenges of an ageing population and formulate relevant policies. Facilitating healthy ageing is an essential strategy to address the issues arising among the aged. The concept of healthy ageing is defined as "the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in old age (WHO)," where "functional ability comprises the health-related attributes that enable people to be and to do what they have reason to value." People have different ageing pathways depending on their genetic profile and different life course health risk exposures. Therefore, ageing, more specifically healthy ageing, largely depends on individual lifestyle choices. This study examines the association between lifestyle behaviours and healthy ageing among older adults in India.
methodsBased on the first round of LASI in 2017-18, we conceptualized healthy ageing within the WHO functional ability framework. We developed a Healthy Ageing Index (HAI), which incorporates physiological health, functional health, cognitive functions, psychological well-being, and social engagement. We used principal component analysis to generate a composite score for HAI. We then used multiple linear regression to demonstrate the association between lifestyle behaviours and HAI.
resultThe mean HAI was 82.8%, indicating that the study population is healthier. The study findings show that smoking and drinking are more prevalent among males, rural residents, illiterate individuals, those currently employed, and those belonging to the poorest wealth quintile. Engaging in physical activity is associated with better health outcomes (β = 2.36; 95% CI: 2.16-2.56).
conclusionThis study emphasizes the importance of adopting a healthier lifestyle to achieve healthy ageing. Health behaviours are modifiable, so our results highlight the need for policy interventions to promote a healthier lifestyle from an early age.
