Trends in prevalence of health and cardiovascular risk factors based on Life's Essential 8 among US adults, 2007-2020.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 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
objectiveThis study aimed to determine trends in the prevalence of health factors and risk factors based on Life's Essential 8 (LE8) among US adults.
methodsThe present study included 26,548 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2007-2008 to 2017-2020. Crude weighted prevalence and 95% CI values of individual risk and health factors based on LE8 were estimated by cycle, and their trends were assessed in logistic regression models.
resultsFrom 2007-2008 to 2017-2020, the prevalence of lack of physical activity (27.2% to 22.5%), current smoking (21.2% to 15.9%), less sleep time (37.1% to 22.7%), and hyperlipidemia (55.8% to 50.8%) decreased, and obesity (33.9% to 43.3%) and hypertension (31.5% to 34.6%) increased, whereas unhealthy diet and diabetes remained stable. There were significant increases in the prevalence of sufficient physical activity (59.7% to 66.7%), never smoking (50.3% to 55.5%), enough sleep time (56.8% to 60.6%), and normal blood lipids (30.2% to 35.6%) and significant decreases in the prevalence of normal weight (30.8% to 25.7%), normal blood glucose (71.5% to 64.8%), and normal blood pressure (61.3% to 58.7%).
conclusionsThis study found improvement in physical activity, smoking, sleep health, and blood lipids and worsening of weight, blood glucose, and blood pressure among US adults from 2007-2008 to 2017-2020.
