Association of life's simple 7 with cognitive function in a multi-ethnic cohort.
Article in The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesMultiple lifestyle and health factors could contribute to cognitive health, while not many studies examined the factors in a combined way, especially in Asian population. This study aims to examine the association of Life's Simple 7 (LS7) with cognitive function and its change in a multi-ethnic Asian population.
methodsLongitudinal data were drawn from the Singapore Multi-Ethnic Cohort, involving 2601 participants (45-86 years). LS7 at baseline was calculated by summing seven metrics, and a higher LS7 (range: 0-7) score indicates a healthier lifestyle. Cognitive function was measured at two revisits with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Association of baseline LS7 with MMSE percentiles (10th, 30th and 50th) and its change over time were examined using linear quantile mixed model. Interactions between LS7 and age group, sex, ethnicity, education level and marital status were also explored.
resultsHigher LS7 was significantly associated with higher MMSE scores at 10th (β = 0.11, 95% CI 0.01, 0.20), 30th (β = 0.12, 95% CI 0.05, 0.19), and 50th (β = 0.07, 95% CI 0.03, 0.11) percentiles. These associations were particularly pronounced among currently unmarried individuals, participants aged 60 and above, those with education above primary school and Chinese ethnicity. No significant association was found between LS7 and MMSE change over time. DISCUSSION: Higher LS7 was significantly associated with better cognition particularly among older, unmarried individuals and participants with higher education or of Chinese ethnicity. These findings highlight the value of composite lifestyle scores for cognitive impairment risk modification in Asian populations.
