Associations of anti-inflammatory diet with cognitive impairment, physical dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and Multimorbidity in Chinese elderly: a national community-based study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe health effects of anti-inflammatory diets have been less studied in the Chinese elderly. We aimed to investigate the association of an anti-inflammatory diet on cognitive function, physical function, depressive status, and multimorbidity.
methodsA total of 11,123 participants aged 65 years and older from the 2017-2019 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) were included in this cross-sectional study. The anti-inflammatory diet was assessed by asking about the frequency of food consumption at around age 60. We used logistic regression to explore the associations of the anti-inflammatory diet with cognitive impairment, physical dysfunction, depressive symptoms, multimorbidity, and restricted cubic spline to determine whether the relationships were nonlinear. Results were expressed using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsThe prevalence of cognitive impairment, physical dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and multimorbidity in the Chinese elderly were 20.73%, 24.95%, 16.13%, and 16.11%, respectively. The restricted cubic spline showed significant negative linear associations between the anti-inflammatory diet and cognitive impairment, physical dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and multimorbidity. After multivariate adjustment, compared with the high-frequency anti-inflammatory diet (Q4), the low-frequency group (Q1) had higher odds of cognitive impairment (OR = 1.41, 95%CI: 1.21-1.64), physical dysfunction (OR = 1.23, 95%CI: 1.06-1.42), depressive symptoms (OR = 1.19, 95%CI: 1.01-1.40), and multimorbidity (OR = 1.33, 95%CI: 1.12-1.58).
conclusionsRegular anti-inflammatory diets may have potential benefits in protecting against cognitive impairment, physical dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and multimorbidity, and rational dietary modification may be an effective strategy for preventing aging-related health problems in older adults.
