Association Between Healthy Lifestyle Habits and Intrinsic Capacity Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Singapore.
Article in Nutrients, 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
backgroundIntrinsic capacity (IC) is the composite of an individual's physical and mental capacities. While lifestyle factors influence health outcomes, their combined association with IC remains understudied.
objectiveTo examine the association between a Healthy Lifestyle Score (HLS) and intrinsic capacity in older adults in Singapore.
methodsData from a population-based sample of older adults aged ≥60 years in the Queenstown district of Singapore was analysed. The HLS (range 0-5) included smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, sleep quality, and BMI (Asian cut-offs). IC was measured using the WHO ICOPE framework and defined as the presence of one or more deficits.
resultsA total of 1644 participants were included (mean age 72.1 years, 56.4% women). IC deficits were present in 50.9% of the cohort. Based on HLS, 29.9% were classified as unhealthy (0-2), 41.4% intermediate (3), and 28.6% healthy (4-5). HLS category was significantly associated with IC deficits (
conclusionsHealthier lifestyle profiles are significantly associated with fewer IC deficits. These findings underscore the importance of promoting modifiable health behaviours to preserve intrinsic capacity and support healthy ageing.
