Holistic Lifestyle Framework to Longitudinally Evaluate Cardiovascular Disparities and Post-Diagnosis Changes Among Older Thai Adults.
Article in JACC. Asia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundLifestyle medicine is expanding across Asia to address cardiovascular disease (CVD) in aging populations, but evidence from rapidly aging Thailand on holistic lifestyle patterns and post-diagnosis behavior change is limited.
objectivesUsing a multidomain framework, the authors examined sociodemographic disparities in lifestyle behaviors, links between individual/cumulative unhealthy behaviors and CVD prevalence/incidence, and post-diagnosis behavior change among older Thai adults.
methodsWe analyzed 8,086 adults ≥45 years of age in the HART (Health, Aging, and Retirement in Thailand) cohort (2015-2022). Five American College of Lifestyle Medicine domains were assessed including leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), alcohol/smoking, sleep, stress management, and social engagement. Logistic/log-Poisson regression models estimated associations with prevalent/incident CVD; generalized estimating equations assessed post-diagnosis change. Models were covariate-adjusted with inverse probability weighting. Incident CVD was secondary because of short, variable follow-up from many 2022 entrants (median: 0 years [Q1-Q3: 0-7 years]; mean: 2.5 ± 3.1 years).
resultsPrevalent CVD affected 745 of 8,086 (9.2%) participants; 205 developed incident CVD. Low LTPA was common, and sleep/stress management worsened over time. Low LTPA and social disengagement were more frequent among older, rural, and lower-income adults, whereas smoking and alcohol use were higher among men and higher-income groups. Having ≥3 unhealthy behaviors was associated with greater odds of prevalent CVD (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.35-2.48). Poor stress management independently predicted prevalent CVD (OR: 1.44; 95% CI: 1.04-1.96), and former smoking predicted incident CVD (risk ratio: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.14-3.48). Post-diagnosis, LTPA was least likely to improve.
conclusionsHolistic attention to behavioral risks is essential; lifestyle medicine can play an expanded role in CVD management. Tailored, equity-sensitive strategies are needed to support recovery and healthy aging after diagnosis.
