The impact of individual and social environmental factors on the health of elderly migrants in China: an analysis based on social-ecological systems theory.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundWith the increasing number of elderly migrants in China, ensuring their health and access to healthcare services have become a significant public health challenge. The social environment of elderly migrants is composed of multiple interconnected systems, each of which exerts a complex and multidimensional influence on their health. This study investigates how individual and social environmental factors affect the health of elderly migrants in China.
methodsData from 4,744 respondents were obtained from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey. Guided by social-ecological systems theory, we explored the relationship between individual and social environmental factors and the health outcomes of elderly migrants using binary logistic regression models.
resultsIndividual factors, such as gender, age, education level, and average monthly household income, were found to significantly affect the self-rated health of the respondents. Furthermore, social environmental factors, including types of social interactions, the establishment of health records, the amount of health knowledge acquired, and travel time to medical institutions, also had a notable influence on the health of elderly migrants.
conclusionsThis study suggests that individual and social environmental factors significantly influence the health of elderly migrants. To improve their health, targeted strategies should focus on fostering diverse social networks, enhancing comprehensive health education, optimizing public health services, and creating an equitable institutional framework.
