Association between systolic blood pressure trajectories and successful aging in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals: a longitudinal study.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundThis study aimed to prospectively assess the relationship between systolic blood pressure (SBP) trajectories and successful aging in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals.
methodsA total of 1,960 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included. SBP measurements from 2011, 2013, and 2015 were used to identify trajectory patterns via a latent category trajectory model (LCTM). Successful aging was assessed in 2020 and defined as the absence of major chronic diseases, preserved physical function, high cognitive performance, favorable mental health, and active social engagement. Logistic regression was applied to evaluate associations between SBP trajectories and successful aging.
resultsThree SBP trajectories were identified: stable low, stable high, and unstable high. Over the 9-year follow-up, 89 participants (4.5%) met the criteria for successful aging. Compared with the stable low group, adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for successful aging were 0.490 (0.293-0.817) for the stable high group and 0.099 (0.014-0.727) for the unstable high group. Stratified and sensitivity analyses supported these findings.
conclusionsBoth stable high and unstable high SBP trajectories were significantly associated with reduced likelihood of successful aging. These findings highlight the importance of longitudinal SBP monitoring in promoting healthy aging in midlife and beyond.
