Prevalence of Selected Chronic Conditions Among Adults Age 45 and Older, by Age and Urbanization Level: United States, 2024.
Review in NCHS data brief, 2026. 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
Introduction: This analysis uses 2024 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data to describe the percentage of adults age 45 and older who have ever had heart disease, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or stroke by age group and urbanization level. Methods: Point estimates and their corresponding variances were calculated using SAS-callable SUDAAN software to account for the complex sample design of NHIS. Differences between percentages were evaluated using two-sided significant tests at the 0.05 level. Tests for trends over urbanization levels were evaluated using logistic regression. Key Findings: In 2024, the prevalence of heart disease increased with decreasing urbanization level, ranging from 9.8% among adults in large central metropolitan areas to 15.2% among adults in nonmetropolitan areas. The prevalence of cancer was over two times higher among adults age 65 and older compared with adults 45-64 overall and for each urbanization level. Just over 10% of adults age 45 and older living in nonmetropolitan areas have COPD. There was variation in the percentage of adults who had a stroke by urbanization level, and the percentage was consistently higher among adults age 65 and older.
