Frailty index trajectories in Chinese older adults with diverse levels of social participation: findings from a national population-based longitudinal study.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAging and frailty pose significant challenges globally, placing a substantial burden on healthcare and social services due to their adverse consequences.
aimThe primary objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between social participation and development of frailty transition and trajectory.
methodsThis study utilized data from the CLHLS Cohort, a 10-year follow-up study involving 6713 participants, to investigate the association between social participation and development of frailty. Frailty reflects a comprehensive decline in various body functions. The study employed a group-based trajectory model to analyze the development trajectory of the frailty index and used logistic regression to assess the odds ratio (OR) of frailty risk.
resultsWe identified two distinct groups of frailty progression trajectories: the "stable development group" and the "rapid growth group." Individuals who engaged in social activities at least once a month, but not daily, exhibited a significant association with an increased risk of transitioning into the "rapid growth group" (OR 1.305, 95% CI 1.032-1.649). Those with social participation less than once a month had an even greater risk (OR 1.872, 95% CI 1.423-2.463). Moreover, low social participation frequency (occasionally/never) has a more pronounced impact on frailty progression in males.
conclusionA higher frequency of social participation is associated with a lower risk of being classified into the "rapid growth group" and a slower rate of frailty index progression. Preventing the progression of frailty can contribute to enhanced support for healthy aging among older adults.
