Physical activity as a predictor of activities of daily living in older adults: a longitudinal study in China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of physical activity and its association with the progression of difficulty performing activities of daily living among older adults in China. Methods: A population-based prospective cohort study based on China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data was conducted in 2018 and 2020. This study used a logistic model to empirically estimate the effects on daily living activities among older adults. Results: A total of 2073 older adults aged 60 years and above were included, 78.0% of whom did not exercise. The logistic regression model revealed several predictive factors for activity of daily living decline among older adults. These included residence status (OR = 0.672; 95% CI 0.519-0.869; Conclusion: Our findings indicate that insufficient physical activity is particularly acute among the older adults. Physical activity has emerged as a significant predictor of decreased daily living activities among older adults. Our research underscores that less and adequate physical activity can prevent a reduction in daily living activities, in contrast to a lack of exercise. The most effective threshold for daily exercise frequency is a session per day, while the ideal exercise duration is 15 min. Additionally, the desired intensity for exercise is characterized by rapid breathing and a noticeable heartbeat, accompanied by slight perspiration. Community nurses play a pivotal role in providing health education on daily exercise to the older adults. It is crucial for nurses in community hospitals to closely monitor the daily exercise habits of the older adults, actively disseminate the benefits of exercise, and enhance their current exercise regimens through effective health education, ultimately improving their quality of life.
