The impact of physical and mind exercise on functional disability in activities of daily living among the oldest old.
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
objectiveIn an aging society, it is essential for older adults to maintain their ability for independent daily living. This study investigates the effects of physical and mind exercise on functional impairment in activities of daily living among older adults aged 80 years and older.
methodsData were sourced from the CLHLS database for the years 1998, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2018, with a final sample of 62,581 respondents included in the analysis. Binary logistic regression models were employed for data analysis.
resultsOur analysis suggests that the oldest-old adults engaging in physical exercise have an approximately 44.9% lower probability of ADL disability than those not exercising (95%CI: 0.509, 0.596), whereas those engaging in mind exercise have an approximately 40.4% lower probability (95%CI: 0.537, 0.661). when the oldest-old engage in both physical and mind exercise, their risk of ADL disability is reduced by 53.6% (95%CI: 0.399, 0.538).
conclusionIn addition to encouraging the oldest-old to engage in appropriate physical exercise, promoting simultaneous engagement in mind exercises is important. This approach is more beneficial for sustaining older adults' health and contributes to healthy aging.
