The effect of cumulative exposure to unhealthy behavioral lifestyles on incident primary dyslipidemia: a prospective study from the Chinese government employee cohort.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 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
backgroundWhile specific unhealthy behavioral lifestyles link to primary dyslipidemia (PD), cumulative effects remain unknown. We quantified the association with incidence of PD with cumulative exposure clustering of lifestyles.
methodsEleven thousand eight hundred forty-three government staff enrolled (2018–2020) and followed (2019–2021). PD was defined per Chinese guidelines. Behaviors and personal characteristics were collected by a questionnaire. Lifestyle score was calculated using cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, unhealthy physical exercise, BMI ≥ 24 Kg/m2, sedentary behavior, and poor sleep quality. Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associations, and the Population Attributable Fraction (PAF) for the association of PD with lifestyle score was calculated. The dose-response relationship was evaluated using the restricted cubic splines method.
resultsThe incidence density of PD was 78/1000 person-years. Compared with participants with 0 unhealthy behavioral lifestyles, the HR of PD was 3.18 (95% CI: 1.63–6.22, p = 0.008) for those with at least 6 unhealthy behavioral lifestyles, with a PAF of the cumulative exposure of unhealthy lifestyle was 33.03% (95% CI:1.58–66.81%). Additionally, the combination of unhealthy diet, unhealthy physical exercise, sedentary behavior, and poor sleep quality was the most dominant form. Notably, there was a monotonically increasing (J-shaped) relationship between unhealthy lifestyles and the risk of PD (P = 0.034).
conclusionsCumulative exposure to unhealthy lifestyles, particularly the combination of poor diet, physical inactivity, sedentariness, and poor sleep, is a major, dose-dependent risk factor for PD in Chinese governmental employees. Public health interventions should prioritize this high-risk cluster to alleviate the substantial disease burden, over one-third of which is attributable to these modifiable factors.
