Longitudinal associations of dynamic transitions of multidimensional health vulnerability with cardiovascular disease risk: evidence from UK Biobank.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Health vulnerability (HV), an intrinsic multidimensional construct integrating physiological, psychological, and social domains, may be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, existing HV assessments lack integration and temporal dynamics change. This study identifies the dynamic association between the HV and risk of CVD. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study included 16,072 participants from the UK Biobank with HV assessments at baseline (2006-2010) and repeat assessment (2014). Latent class analysis and latent transition analysis were used to identify HV transition patterns. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate associations between HV transitions and incident CVD, with follow-up initiated from baseline assessment. Sensitivity analyses included alternative HV transitions classification, exclusion of hypertensive diseases from the composite outcome, and competing risk analyses considering non-CVD death. Results: During a median follow-up of 8.9 years, 3,033 incident CVD events were identified. Compared with persistently low vulnerability, increasing vulnerability and persistently elevated vulnerability were associated with higher CVD risk after multivariable adjustment (HR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.74-2.63 and HR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08-1.29, respectively). Subgroup analyses identified significant effect modification by age and smoking status, indicating that the associations between HV transitions and CVD risk differed across these populations. The main findings remained consistent in sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: Dynamic changes in HV were associated with subsequent CVD risk, with increasing and persistently elevated vulnerability showing higher risks. These findings highlight the potential importance of monitoring multidimensional vulnerability changes for cardiovascular risk assessment.
