The association between physical and sensory function, self-perceived health, and 24-hour activity patterns for older people: A compositional data analysis.
Article in PloS one, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesOlder adults' physical and sensory function and self-perceived health state are associated with their daily health behavior, such as moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), sedentary behavior (SEB), and sleep duration (SD), though most studies examine these independently, overlooking 24-hour interactions. This study aims to investigate the relationships between physical and sensory function (vision, hearing, activity limitations), self-perceived health and the pattern of 24-hour activity behaviors via compositional data analysis.
methodsA secondary data analysis was conducted on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. Compositional data analysis was employed to account for the inherently interdependent nature of these behaviors. Linear regression models were implemented, designating activity behaviors as the dependent variable and sensory/physical function as the independent variable.
resultsThe results indicated that vision and hearing showed weaker and nonsignificant associations with activity behaviors. Activity limitations significantly influence health behavior patterns, with no limitations associated with more time in MVPA and less time in SEB and SD. Self-perceived health is significantly positively associated with more MVPA, while inversely associated with SEB and SD.
conclusionThis study revealed that older adults with limitations in their daily activities showed the most sedentary daily activity pattern. Future research should develop targeted interventions to improve activity behaviors in this population.
