Latent Cognitive Profiles Predict 1-Year Mental Health, Insomnia, Falls, Daily Functioning, and Pain in US Older Adults: A National Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 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
objectivesCognitive profiles extend traditional binary classifications by revealing subtle, domain-specific deficits in cognitively intact older adults. This study investigates their predictive value for 1-year outcomes in mental health, insomnia, pain, falls, and daily functioning among older adults without cognitive impairment to improve risk stratification and enable tailored interventions.
designProspective longitudinal cohort study. SETTING AND
participants2219 community-dwelling adults aged >65 years, cognitively intact at baseline, drawn from the National Health and Aging Trends Study.
methodsAdjusted logistic regressions linked baseline cognitive profiles-derived via latent profile analysis of 6-domain cognitive performance-to 1-year incident outcomes, excluding individuals with preexisting events.
resultsParticipants were classified into 5 predefined cognitive profiles: profile 1, overall intact; profile 2, isolated moderate orientation impairment; profile 3, mild global impairment with preserved orientation; profile 4, mild global impairment with significant orientation impairment; and profile 5, moderate global impairment. Compared with profile 1, profiles 4 and 5 were associated with higher odds of depressive symptoms [odds ratios (ORs) 2.55-2.69] and insomnia (ORs 2.33-2.48), whereas profiles 3 and 5 showed increased odds of anxiety symptoms (ORs 1.66-2.23). Profile 5 also had an elevated risk of falls (OR 1.98) and multiple falls (OR 4.66) within 1 year. Difficulties in daily tasks were noted in profile 2 (shopping: OR 1.79; banking: OR 2.84) and profile 5 (medication management: OR 2.98; laundry: OR 2.11; banking: OR 3.42). All associations reached statistical significance (P < .05), except for pain outcomes. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Even among cognitively intact older adults, subtle global cognitive decline predicted higher risk of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, insomnia, falls, and impaired daily functioning. Profiles with orientation deficits were vulnerable to depression, shopping, and banking difficulties, whereas global impairment with preserved orientation was linked to increased anxiety symptoms. Implementing early cognitive screening for cognitively intact older adults and targeting both global decline and orientation deficits may mitigate adverse 1-year outcomes.
