Sleep trajectories and osteoporosis incidence: findings from two prospective cohort studies.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Most studies evaluate sleep quality at a single time point, and few have employed repeated measurements to investigate this association. This longitudinal research investigated changes in sleep quality patterns among older adults and examined their relationship with the onset of osteoporosis. Methods: We analyzed data from two prospective cohorts: Participants comprised 4,328 individuals from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) and 9,132 from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Sleep quality was quantified using standardized sleep quality scores, and trajectories were determined based on baseline and follow-up assessments. Changes in sleep quality status were categorized to reflect persistent, improving, or deteriorating patterns. Associations between sleep quality trajectories and osteoporosis incidence were examined using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results: At baseline, sleep quality was significantly associated with the prevalence of osteoporosis in both datasets (ELSA: HR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.08-1.15; HRS: HR = 1.1, 95% CI: 1.07-1.13). During the follow-up period, compared with participants with persistently good sleep quality, those with persistently poor sleep quality had a significantly increased risk of osteoporosis (ELSA: HR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.47-2.44; HRS: HR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.26-1.82). Conclusion: Poor sleep trajectories significantly increase osteoporosis risk, suggesting sleep improvement may help prevent bone loss. These consistent findings across two cohorts support sleep-focused interventions as a potential osteoporosis prevention strategy.
