Correlates of self-perceptions of aging in dementia caregivers: findings from the German Aging Survey.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study investigated the associations between dementia caregivers' self-perceptions of aging (SPAs) and demographic, care related, and stress variables.
methodsCross-sectional (2021) data collected online and from the German Aging Study comprising 190 dementia caregivers (Mean age= 65.69 years; SD= 10.11) were used. Predictive variables were age, sex, education, marital status, type of district of residence, caregiving hours per week, relationship to the person with dementia, care burden, and the Relative Stress Scale. Outcome variables were one item assessing felt age, the Lawton's Attitudes toward Own Aging Scale, and the age-related cognitions scales. Univariable, multivariable, and multivariate linear regression models were used.
resultsMultivariable and multivariate linear regression models showed that those dementia caregivers who are older, have lower education, experience higher levels of caregiving-related burden and stress, and live in urban compared to rural districts, experience more negative SPAs compared to dementia caregivers without these characteristics. Associations were of moderate size for stress and of small size for the remaining variables.
conclusionThe results suggest that key characteristics in dementia caregivers are associated with more negative SPAs. Given that more negative SPAs are associated with poorer health outcomes, these individuals may benefit the most from interventions promoting positive SPAs.
