1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimsOlder adults show substantial heterogeneity in health status, making it necessary to develop integrative tools for personalized nutrition assessment. This study aimed to develop and describe a preliminary multi-domain algorithm towards precision nutrition for older adults to generate personalized dietary and physical activity recommendations, and to evaluate its feasibility in a selected cohort of community-dwelling, healthy retirees.

methodsThe algorithm was developed through a multi-step process. A literature review identified age-related conditions of interest and supported the definition of six health domains: Glucose Regulation, Nutritional Sufficiency, Cardiovascular Health, Physical Status, Digestive Health, and Circadian Rhythms. A nutrigenetic test was then designed, and relevant biochemical, anthropometric, dietary, lifestyle, physical activity, and genetic variables were selected and integrated into a multi-domain scoring system, summing up to an Overall Score. The algorithm was applied to participants from the MyFOOD4Senior study (n = 120).

resultsThe nutrigenetic test comprised 26 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), from which four candidate-SNP genetic risk scores (GRS) were derived: type 2 diabetes, vitamin D deficiency, cardiovascular disease, and strength deficiency. In addition to genetic information, the algorithm integrated dietary intake, micronutrient biomarkers, anthropometry, physical performance and digestive function into domain‑specific scores, providing an Overall Score (mean: 79.86 ± 10.02 points). Cluster analysis identified three health phenotypes: Reference/Healthy (n = 40), Frailty-like (n = 36), and Cardiovascular Risk-like (n = 44). The Frailty phenotype showed the lowest scores for Physical Status, Glucose Regulation, and Nutritional Sufficiency, whereas the Cardiovascular Risk-like phenotype was characterized by the lowest Cardiovascular Health score.

conclusionThis study presents the development of a multi-domain algorithm intended to advance the implementation of precision nutrition for active, community-dwelling older adults. By integrating multidimensional biological, functional, and nutritional variables, this framework provides a comprehensive approach to health phenotyping, establishing a solid basis for future longitudinal validation before its potential application in personalized geriatric nutrition.
