Neighborhood socioeconomic inequality and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Annals of medicine, 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
backgroundIndividual-level socioeconomic characteristics are known to predict sarcopenia, but little is known about how the neighborhood context shapes this debilitating problem among older adults. This study examined the association between neighborhood socioeconomic inequality and sarcopenia. MATERIALS AND
methodsData from three impact evaluation studies aimed at promoting healthy aging by using the WHO Integrated Care for Older People Model, tailored exercise training, and social prescribing strategies. A total of 1650 older adults (aged 60 or above) were included in this secondary data analysis. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 algorithm. A neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) index was constructed using a weighted combination of seven validated neighborhood-level socioeconomic indicators derived from government data across 292 Tertiary Planning Units in Hong Kong. The index was categorized into distribution-based tertiles as high (T1), moderate (T2), and low (T3). Logistic regression analysis identified the association between nSES and sarcopenia, adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, and individual-level socioeconomic characteristics.
resultsAmong the participants, 11.03% (
conclusionsThis is the first study to identify the negative relationship between comprehensive nSES and the prevalence of sarcopenia. The findings highlight the need to develop socio-environmental sensitive risk stratification and preventive care to manage later-age sarcopenia.
