A study on the development of a fitness age prediction model: the national fitness award cohort study 2017-2021.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. 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
backgroundPhysical fitness is considered an important indicator of the health of the general public. In particular, the physical fitness of the older adults is an important requirement for determining the possibility of independent living. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association between chronological age and physical fitness variables in the National Fitness Award Cohort study data and to develop multiple linear regression analyses to predict fitness age using dependent variables.
methodsData from 501,774 (359,303 adults, 142,471 older adults) individuals who participated in the Korea National Fitness Award Cohort Study from 2017 to 2021 were used. The physical fitness tests consisted of 5 candidate markers for adults and 6 candidate markers for the older adults to measure muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiopulmonary endurance, flexibility, balance, and agility. Pearson's correlation and stepwise regression analyses were used to analyze the data.
resultsWe obtained a predicted individual fitness age values from physical fitness indicators for adults and older adults individuals, and the mean explanatory power of the fitness age for adults was [100.882 - (0.029 × VO
conclusionsWe suggest the use of fitness age as a valid indicator of fitness in adults and older adults as well as a useful motivational tool for undertaking exercise prescription programs along with exercise recommendations at the national level.
