Household fuel use and motoric cognitive risk syndrome among older adults: Evidence from cohort study and life course analysis.
Article in The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease, 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
backgroundMotoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCRS) is a predementia syndrome, and its prevention is valuable for reducing the incidence of dementia. However, few studies have focused on the association between indoor air pollution caused by household cooking fuel use and MCRS. This study aimed to investigate whether clean cooking fuel use is associated with reduced MCRS risk and whether the timing of clean fuel adoption across the life span is associated with MCRS prevalence.
methodsWe used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. A prospective cohort analysis (n = 4251) examined baseline fuel use (2011) and incident MCRS over four years. A cross-sectional life course analysis (n = 6964) linked retrospective fuel use histories (2014 life history survey) to MCRS status in 2015. Modified Poisson regression was used to estimate relative risks (RRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs), adjusting for covariates.
resultsIn the cohort study, clean fuel use at baseline was associated with a reduced risk of MCRS (RR = 0.76; 95 % CI: 0.61-0.96). Lower risks were also observed among participants who transitioned from solid to clean fuels and those who consistently used clean fuels. In the life course analysis, clean fuel adoption in early or middle adulthood was linked to lower MCRS prevalence.
conclusionClean fuel use for cooking and transitioning from solid to clean fuels decreases MCRS risk among older adults. Moreover, earlier adoption of clean cooking fuels is associated with a lower prevalence of MCRS in later life.
