Factors associated with physical activity engagement among adolescents in a southeastern region of Spain.
Review in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. 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
Objective: To identify factors associated with physical activity engagement among adolescents in southeastern Spain. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample of 1817 adolescents from the Region of Murcia, using data from the 2018 HBSC Spain study. Two logistic regression models were analyzed. Model 1 included the full sample, with the dependent variable being compliance with the World Health Organization's physical activity recommendations (WHO-PAR), which include both moderate and vigorous physical activity. Model 2 focused on adolescents who did not meet the WHO-PAR but reported engaging in vigorous physical activity during leisure time at least four times per week. Results: In total, 19.7 % of adolescents met the WHO-PAR. Among those who did not, 24.8 % engaged frequently in vigorous physical activity (≥4 times per week). In Model 1, being female (OR 0.43), older age (OR 0.87), and overweight/obesity (OR 0.59) were associated with lower odds of meeting the WHO-PAR. High family affluence (OR 1.71) and high perceived quality of life (OR 1.99) were associated with greater odds. In Model 2, being male (OR 1.94), high family affluence (OR 1.55), and high quality of life (OR 1.98) increased the likelihood of engaging in vigorous physical activity, while overweight/obesity (OR 0.61) decreased it. Conclusions: Not meeting the WHO physical activity recommendations and not engaging in vigorous activity were associated with low family affluence, being female, overweight/obesity, and low or medium perceived quality of life. These factors should be addressed in interventions to promote adolescent physical activity.
