Ageing in place readiness in Thailand: urban and rural comparison.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundThe concept of ageing in place is an important guideline for implementing support for an ageing society. This study examined the ageing index in place of residence in urban and rural areas at the national level.
methodSamples were Thai citizens age 60 years old and above by using national secondary data from the 2021 survey of the elderly population in Thailand. The Ageing in Place Index was calculated including 5 components (place, social networks, support, technology, personal characteristics).
resultsThe score for the Ageing in Place Index was higher in rural areas than in urban areas, at a high level (0.810) and at a moderate level (0.798) respectively. The indices for place and personal characteristics are at a moderate level, while the component for support, social networks, and technology are at a high level. The index score for social networks and technology is at a high level. The social networks index, with one sub-indicator being community participation, had a percentage score of 54.99% in rural areas, which is considered 'good,' compared to 46.70% in urban areas, which is considered 'fair.' Urban areas, however, had a technological readiness that is more suitable for ageing in place.
conclusionsThai older in rural areas can ageing in place better than their counterparts in urban areas. Therefore, the government should promote social participation policies for the older in urban areas, and technology for the older in rural areas. Overall, Thailand needs to ensure that there is a robust support system for ageing in place so that the older enjoy an optimal quality of life.
