Differences in health related quality of life among older migrants and nonmigrants in India.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Increasing age with migration status might have a double risk of vulnerability to poor health outcomes. There is a lack of population-based studies on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older migrants in India. This study compares the HRQoL between older migrants and non-migrant populations in India and examines the role of migration-related factors. The Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI) Wave-I data was used, and older persons aged 60 and above were selected for the study, which included 30,158 final samples. The HRQoL was measured based on a EuroQol Five-Dimension (EQ-5D) measure. The study used univariate and bivariate analysis to examine HRQoL differences between migrants and non-migrants, and logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between HRQoL and migration status and other correlates of older persons. Over half of the older persons (55.9%) were growing older at destination places in India. The migrants showed a higher prevalence of poor HRQoL (44.5%) than non-migrants (34.8%). Further, the adjusted logistic regression result shows that migrants were likelier to have poor HRQoL [AOR 1.15; CI 1.09-1.22] than non-migrants. The migrants with 0-9 years of duration and migration at age 60 and above were significantly more likely to have poor HRQoL [AOR 1.20; CI 1.03-1.39] and [AOR 1.20; CI 1.04-1.39], respectively, than non-migrants. Moreover, the origin-destination place of migrants was also found to be significantly associated with poor HRQoL compared to non-migrants. The findings of our study reveal that persons with migration status had lower HRQoL than non-migrants. Some migration-related factors were significantly associated with HRQoL among migrants. However, this study predicts that migrants especially need separate health policies as they are in poorer health conditions than non-migrants. Policymakers should focus on the determinants of migrant health to achieve the goal of healthy ageing for all in India.
