The Healthy Aging Initiative (HAI): an interdisciplinary longitudinal cohort study to characterize and promote healthspan in senior housing.
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
Objective: We present the rationale, design, and methods for the Healthy Aging Initiative (HAI), a prospective longitudinal cohort study of older adults primarily residing in senior housing, aimed to identify and characterize factors associated with a prolonged healthspan in this population. Methods: The HAI, developed with input from experts at the Marcus Institute for Aging Research and informed by a pilot study, includes a community engaged recruitment method and a yearly assessment encompassing the following domains: sociodemographic information, medical history, lifestyle, psychological well-being, physical and cognitive health, mobility, and sensory health. Recruitment is ongoing and includes participants who are aged ≥55 years recruited from six senior housing communities. A control group of community-dwelling participants living in conventional housing aged ≥55 is also planned. Results: Recruitment remains ongoing. Expected results include characterizing the sociodemographic and health profiles of older adults in independent-living (IL) senior housing, identifying psychological, lifestyle and biological factors associated with a prolonged healthspan, and defining high-risk subgroups to inform future targeted interventions and health promotion strategies. Data will be made publicly available. Discussion: Longitudinal studies on aging often face challenges such as retention and sustained community engagement. Through a collaborative effort among research scientists in the aging field, housing providers, and older adults, this project aims to collect data on aging trajectories among older adults residing in IL senior housing to inform future initiatives that promote prolonged healthspan in this population.
