Association between self-worth and health promotion behaviors among older adults living in the community: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundPopulation aging is one of the most significant global social changes, making the improvement of the health and quality of life for the elderly a key health priority. The adoption of health promotion behaviors and having self-worth are effective approaches to maintain the health of older people. The current study aimed to investigate health promotion behaviors and their relationship with self-worth among the elderly in Tabriz, Iran.
methodsThis cross-sectional study recruited 427 older people, who lived in Tabriz in 2022. The participants were selected using multistage random cluster sampling. The Health Promotion Activities of Older Adults Measure, and the Contingencies of Self-Worth Scale were used for collecting the data. Descriptive and inferential statistics methods were applied to the data.
resultsThe results showed a moderate mean score of health promotion behaviors (93.25 ± 15.39) and a low mean score of self-worth (79.30 ± 10.29) for the participants. The multivariate linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between health promotion behaviors and self-worth among the older adults (p < 0.01). Therefore, self-worth could predict about 3.7% of the variance of health promotion behaviors among this population (R
conclusionsWhile self-worth showed a modest correlation with health promotion behaviors, multivariable analysis revealed socioeconomic factors as stronger predictors. Interventions should address structural determinants alongside psychosocial factors to improve elderly health. Future studies are needed to explore causal pathways between self-worth and health behaviors in aging populations.
