Self-care and health-related quality of life in Mexican older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in the world and represents one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The evidence suggests that inadequate self-care behavior among patients with chronic diseases might negatively affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL); however, the evidence in older adults with diabetes is inconclusive, and the information is scarce in the Mexican context. Therefore, this study aimed to determine self-care behavior and HRQoL in Mexican older adults with T2D and evaluate the association between both variables. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn analytical cross-sectional design was used. Participants (n = 300) were recruited at six senior centers in Hidalgo, Mexico. The Self-Care Capacity and Perception Test for Older Adults and the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to assess self-care behavior and HRQoL, respectively. The associations between the variables of interest were evaluated by logistic regression models adjusted for confounders.
resultsOlder adults with inadequate self-care behavior were more likely to have poor HRQoL in all domains of the WHOQOL-BREF: physical health [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 4.10; 95% CI = 1.59, 10.57], psychological health (aOR = 6.98; 95% CI = 2.41, 20.19), social relationships (aOR = 7.02; 95% CI = 2.64, 18.67), and environmental health (aOR = 4.25; 95%CI = 1.43, 11.50). Partially adequate self-care behavior also showed a significant association with poor HRQoL.
conclusionSelf-care behavior was independently associated with HRQoL in Mexican older adults with T2D. Thus, it is important to plan awareness-raising interventions to improve self-care behaviors in older adults with chronic conditions.
