Influence of Social Determinants on Physical Performance and Geriatric Syndromes in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and 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
backgroundHealthy aging involves ensuring a good quality of life and maintaining autonomy. Physical performance is a key indicator of health and autonomy in old age, and it is influenced by social determinants of health. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in physical performance and geriatric health outcomes among older adults attending a community center, according to their educational level, pension status, and access to health services.
methodsAn observational, descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional study was carried out using the database of subjects aged 60 and over who attend a community gerontological center.
resultsA total of 536 older adults (mean age 70.7 ± 8.4 years, 71.5% women, 86.9% with public health coverage) with an average age of 70.7 ± 8.4 years were included; subjects with higher education had higher weight, as well as better indicators of physical functionality: higher scores in the Barthel and Lawton-Brody indices, greater walking speed, less time in the test to get up from the chair and in the test "Time Up and Go" (TUG), and increased prehensile strength.
conclusionSocial determinants, including education, economic independence, health coverage, and pension status, significantly influence physical performance and geriatric syndromes in older adults.
