Association of life-course socioeconomic status with lifestyle changes after diagnosis of non-communicable disease: a prospective study using data from European, United States, and Chinese cohorts.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Life-course socioeconomic inequalities existed in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and lifestyles, but whether life-course socioeconomic status (SES) and social mobility affects changes in lifestyles after diagnosis of NCDs remains unknown. We investigated the association of life-course SES and social mobility with two lifestyle changes after the diagnosis of NCD, using data from 8907 adults in the United States, Europe, and China. Life-course SES and social mobility were constructed using parental education, participant education, and participant total household wealth. Physical inactivity and smoking were measured before and after diagnosis of NCDs. After NCD diagnosis, 6131 (68.8%) of participants had no unfavorable changes in lifestyles, while 313 (3.5%) participants reported to have unfavorable changes in both physical inactivity and smoking. Lower life-course SES increased the likelihood of physical inactivity (odds ratio [OR], 3.01; 95% CI, 0.50, 3.56; average marginal effect [AME], 0.166; 95% CI, 0.142, 0.190) and smoking (OR, 2.43; 95% CI, 2.01, 2.94; AME, 0.091; 95% CI, 0.072, 0.111) after NCD diagnosis. Compared to stable high SES, stable low (8.66; 4.37-17.17), upward (3.01; 1.42, 6.38), downward (6.88; 3.45, 13.73), and varied SES mobility (3.76; 1.79, 7.90) were all associated with unfavorable changes in lifestyles after NCD diagnosis. These findings support the notion that social patterning of unfavorable lifestyles extends beyond the onset of disease, potentially accelerating disease progression.
