Unhealthy lifestyles accelerated aging and consequential musculoskeletal morbidity.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 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
introductionFew studies assessed comprehensive effects of composite unhealthy lifestyles on aging and musculoskeletal health. This study aimed to address such issues with the UK Biobank datasets. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn unhealthy lifestyle score (UHLS) was constructed based on 9 lifestyle behaviors. Aging indicators were calculated from 18 clinical traits. General linear and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze associations between UHLS, aging, and musculoskeletal morbidity. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed for causal relationship exploration.
resultsAmong 396,037 participants, 54.5% and 3.3% of them were designated to the low (scored 0-2) and high UHLS (scored 6-9) groups, respectively. Increasing UHLS was associated with elevated aging acceleration (AA) based on biological age (0.343 per unit; 95% CI: 0.331, 0.355) and phenotypic age (AA_PA) (0.408 per unit; 95% CI: 0.394, 0.422), and higher morbidity of low grip strength (HR = 1.025; 95% CI: 1.001, 1.050), slow walking pace (HR = 1.134; 95% CI: 1.074, 1.198), osteoporosis (HR = 1.077; 95% CI: 1.063, 1.091), fracture (HR = 1.059; 95% CI: 1.048, 1.069) and osteoarthritis (HR = 1.036; 95% CI: 1.030, 1.042). Unhealthy lifestyles in conjunction with AA jointly increased musculoskeletal morbidity. Besides, AA mediated UHLS effects on slow walking pace, osteoporosis and fracture, with mediating proportion of 4.85%-12.79%. MR analyses revealed causal relationships between UHLS and low grip strength, osteoarthritis, and reduced femoral neck bone mineral density. In addition, AA_PA suggestively mediated the UHLS-osteoarthritis association.
conclusionsComposite unhealthy lifestyles accelerate aging and impair musculoskeletal health. Both mediating and joint effects of AA showed unhealthy lifestyle-associated musculoskeletal morbidity.
