The associations between dynapenic obesity and cognitive disorder in older hypertension patients: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
Observational study 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: Evidence regarding the associations between dynapenic obesity and cognitive disorder in older adults is limited. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cognitive disorder among the older patients with hypertension (HTN), explore the association between dynapenic obesity and cognitive disorder, and explore a hypothesized path structure. Methods: We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional study from July 2023 to March 2024 among the older HTN patients aged 65 years and older. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and standardized measurement. Logistic regression models were used to test the association between dynapenic obesity and cognitive disorder. Multiple imputation by chained equations under a missing-at-random assumption was conducted. Structural equation modeling was employed to explore the hypothesized path analysis. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to validate the robustness of the findings. Results: The study included 9,568 older HTN patients. The prevalence of cognitive disorder in this population was 15.67% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 14.94-16.40%). After adjusting for potential confounders, a significant positive association was observed between dynapenic obesity and cognitive disorder (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.418, 95% CI: 1.263-1.591). In the path model, dynapenic obesity was associated with lower odds of adequate physical activity (PA) (aOR = 0.708, 95% CI: 0.640-0.783). Adequate physical activity was associated with lower odds of depressive disorders (aOR = 0.441, 95% CI: 0.367-0.529) and cognitive disorder (aOR = 0.521, 95% CI: 0.452-0.601). Participants with depressive disorders had higher odds of cognitive disorder than those without depressive disorders (aOR = 1.312, 95% CI: 1.031-1.669). This association remained consistent across different age groups (all Conclusion: Dynapenic obesity was positively associated with cognitive disorder. PA and depressive disorders were regarded as variables within a hypothesized cross-sectional path structure.
