Association between residential proximity to major roadways and sleep health in older Chinese people: the moderating role of living environments.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundIn developing countries, the relationship between residential proximity to major roadways and sleep health in older adults remains to be seen, and more emphasis needs to be placed on the modulating role of the living environments on sleep health. For this study, we utilized population data obtained from the 2018 wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS).
methodsThis study used logistic hierarchical regression to examine the relationship between residential proximity to major roadways and sleep quality and duration, controlling covariates. Moreover, the moderating effect of the living environments was explored through subgroup analysis and interaction. Sensitivity analysis was used to verify the robustness of the results.
resultsThe study included 7798 participants aged ≥ 65. The median age of participants was 82.00 years. Compared with those living near major roadways < 50 m, in the good sleep quality group, those living at a distance of 101–200 m had worse sleep quality (OR = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.67, 0.99; P < 0.05), and the remaining distance was unrelated to good sleep quality (P > 0.05). The distance wasn’t significantly associated with bad sleep quality and duration (P > 0.05). Moreover, those living in detached houses had better sleep quality than those in the good sleep quality group (OR = 1.30, 95%CI: 1.14, 1.50; P for interaction = 0.019). The bad sleep quality group, with a musty smell, had worse sleep quality (OR = 1.13, 95%CI: 1.09, 1.62; P for interaction = 0.023). High indoor ventilation frequency was associated with longer sleep duration in the long sleep duration group (OR = 1.26, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.47; P for interaction = 0.011).
conclusionThe residential proximity to major roadways 101–200 m was associated with worse sleep quality, but a distance of > 200 m didn’t improve sleep quality. A home’s proximity to major roadways was not associated with sleep duration. Therefore, determining the moderate distance between the house and major roadways may be a strategy for optimal sleep health.
