Association between accelerometry measured patterns of sedentary behaviors and functional status in older adults.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundOlder adults are highly sedentary, and too much sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with negative health effects, but little is known about SB patterns and their associations with functional status.
aimsTo examine the association between objectively measured sedentary behavior time (SBT) and sedentary behavior fragmentation (SBF) and functional status in older adults using the National Health Aging Trends Study (NHATS) dataset, a nationally representative sample from 2021.
methodsData from NHATS were analyzed using weighted linear regressions to examine the association between objective measures of SBT (mean hours spent in SB/day during waking hours) and SBF, and six functional variables (difficulties with activities of daily living [ADL], short physical performance battery, hand grip strength, immediate word recall, delayed word recall, and mental health), accounting for sociodemographic, body mass index, and the number of chronic conditions.
resultsA total of 738 individuals from the NHATS were included. Higher SBT was associated with greater difficulties with ADL, poorer short physical performance battery and hand grip strength, lower scores in both immediate and delayed word recall, and poorer mental health. Higher SBF was associated with fewer difficulties with ADL, better short physical performance battery and hand grip strength, a higher score in immediate word recall, and better mental health. DISCUSSIONAND
conclusionsGreater fragmentation of SB was associated with better function, and increasing SBF may be a useful strategy for mitigating the effects of SB in older adults, but prospective research is needed to support this approach.
