The current status and implications of aging research from a health perspective.
Review in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Background: With the pace of aging population deepening, the well-being of older adults has increasingly emerged as the focus of global concern. In this context, this study adopts a narrative review approach. Drawing on the concept of healthy aging and incorporated by Person-Environment Fit theory, an analytical framework is developed to systematically synthesize research on aging from a health perspective. It aims to explore the impacts of intrinsic capacity (including physical function, cognitive function and mental health), external environmental support (including social environment, physical environment and technology environment), and their interactive effects on healthy aging. Methods: To perform this narrative review, a literature search was conducted in the Chinese and international databases including CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Sage Journals databases. The search covered publications from database inception to December 31, 2025. Studies were screened and relevant information was retrieved in alignment with the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Main findings: Evidence indicates that intrinsic capacity and external environmental support are interconnected. Environmental resources can compensate for declines in intrinsic capacity while also facilitating its maintenance and development. Conversely, higher levels of intrinsic capacity enable individuals to more effectively access and utilize environmental resources, thereby creating a positive feedback loop that promotes health. Conclusion: The interplay between intrinsic capacity and external environment support plays a decisive role in shaping health outcomes in later life and it is fundamental to achieving health aging. The mechanisms underlying their interaction and their combined impact on health should be examined in further research. There is also a need to develop and refine measurement tools for person-environment fit and strengthen cross-cultural comparative research.
