Dietary and health risk behaviors for metabolic diseases in different age groups: a cross-sectional study in Chongqing, China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe study aimed to investigate the relationship between the frequency of metabolic diseases (MetD) and dietary behaviors as well as health risk behaviors in various age groups.
methodsThis Cross-Sectional study involved 12,215 participants, and the relationship between MetD and health risk behaviors was discussed using Pearson chi-square tests and unordered binary logistics regression. The Apriori algorithm was used to explore and analyze the combination patterns of health risk behaviors.
resultsInsufficient sleep as a risk factor for MetD (for young adults, odds ratio (OR): 1.31, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15, 1.50; for middle-aged adults, OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.33). For young adults, maladaptive emotion was a risk factor (OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.18, 1.80), and their risk of MetD was 1.48 times higher with three health risk behaviors compared with those with no or only one health risk behavior (95% CI: 1.27, 1.72). As for dietary behaviors, meat-based diet, greasy and salty taste preferences were associated with MetD.
conclusionsHigh-risk alcohol consumption is a risk factor for MetD in elderly adults. Insufficient sleep was a common risk factor for MetD in young and middle-aged groups. Young adults may also be affected by maladaptive emotion and the number of risk factors. Poor dietary behaviors such as meat-based diet, greasy and salty dietary taste, may increase risk, particularly among young adults. We should consider interventions systematically and comprehensively targeting modern lifestyles of different key age group populations such as young adults.
