Determinants of mortality risk in older adults from the ELSIA study: a prospective cohort 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
backgroundThis study investigated factors that may determine longevity in older adults, aiming to prolong their life expectancy and improve projections from before the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
objectiveTo identify risk factors for mortality in older Brazilian adults. DESIGN AND
settingA prospective cohort study, part of the Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde do Idoso de Alcobaça.
methodsThis study included 332 older adults of both sexes who were followed up for over five years (2015-2020). Vital status was determined via telephone follow-up, information provided by family members, and death certificates. To identify the sociodemographic, health, functional, and behavioral factors associated with mortality risk among older adults, Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsThe risk factors for mortality among older adults included the number of people living with them (HR = 1.22; 95%CI = 1.07-1.38) and the number of prescribed drugs (HR = 1.15; 95%CI = 1.00-1.32). Factors associated with a lower risk of mortality were greater time spent in physical activity (HR = 0.99; 95%CI = 0.90-0.99) and greater hip circumference (HR = 0.95; 95%CI = 0.31-0.99).
conclusionsSociodemographic, health, functional, and behavioral factors are determinants of mortality risk among older adults. Regular screening of the older adult population should be conducted to assess their general health status, allowing for more appropriate interventions to increase their quality of life and improve aging.
