Trajectories of activities of daily living according to dementia among middle-aged and older people in South Korea: a longitudinal study from 2006 to 2020 (14 years).
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The aging population in South Korea faces numerous health challenges, one of which is the decline in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). This study aims to investigate the patterns of change in ADL and IADL among older adults and examines how these patterns vary between individuals with and without dementia. Methods: We conducted an analysis of data collected from the Korea Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) between 2006 and 2022. Our cohort consisted of individuals aged 45 and older with non-dementia conditions, including mild cognitive impairment ( Results: Our findings indicate a linear decline in both ADL and IADL scores as individuals age. The decline in IADL was more pronounced in the dementia group, suggesting a greater sensitivity to sociocultural factors within this domain. The data revealed that individuals with dementia had consistently lower ADL and IADL scores. Notably, the variance in scores within the dementia group increased with age, signifying a worsening in daily living performance and an increase in individual variation ( Discussion: The results of this study underscore the impact of dementia on both the self-regulation function and the social and cultural aspects of daily living performance, particularly reflected in IADL scores. These findings point to the necessity for comprehensive care strategies that address the multifaceted needs of older adults with dementia, including support for complex daily activities that are influenced by sociocultural factors.
