Prevalence and clustering of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors among elderly adults in Yuexiu district, Guangzhou City, China: a cross sectional study.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCardiovascular disease has a high prevalence and mortality rate, which are mainly due to the aging population and the high prevalence and clustering of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (CRFs); however, studies on the aging Chinese population are limited. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and clustering of CRFs among the elderly population to provide evidence for the overall planning of medical resources and disease management.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 41,517 participants aged ≥ 65 years were recruited from January 2020 to April 2021 in the Yuexiu district, Guangzhou city, China. Sociodemographic and health examination data were collected.
resultsAmong the 41,517 participants, 42.2% were male. The prevalence rates of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, overweight/obesity, and smoking were 87.1%, 33.3%, 47.6%, 45.5%, and 7.6%, respectively. Participants with ≥ 1, ≥2, and ≥ 3 CFRs accounted for 96.3%, 75.0%, and 38.7% of the study population, respectively. After adjusting for sex, education level, marital status, and physical activity level, older age and drinking were independent risk factors for CRF clustering.
conclusionsExcluding smoking, there is a high prevalence of CRFs in the elderly population of Southern China, especially hypertension. In addition, the clustering of CRFs was high. In the future, a healthy lifestyle should be promoted in the elderly, and the prevention and management of CRFs should be optimized according to the prevalence and cluster characteristics.
