Independent and joint associations of physical activity and a body shape index with sleep disorders in older adults with cardiometabolic multimorbidity: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundCardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) has become a significant public health challenge in the context of global ageing. Sleep disorders are prevalent in older adults with CMM, but their correlations with physical activity and a body shape index (ABSI) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the independent and joint associations of physical activity and ABSI with sleep disorders in older adults with CMM.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between February and March 2024 and recruited 650 older CMM patients (aged ≥ 65 years) by random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire as well as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ-SF). Logistic regression models were used to assess the independent and joint associations of physical activity and ABSI with sleep disorders.
resultsThe prevalence of sleep disorders among older CMM patients was 48.46%, and low IPAQ (OR = 3.61, 95%CI: 2.41 to 5.43) and high ABSI (OR = 1.46, 95%CI: 1.04 to 2.04) were identified as independent risk factors for sleep disorders. The risk of sleep disorders in patients with low IPAQ and high ABSI group was approximately 5.1 times higher than that in patients with middle/high IPAQ and low ABSI group (OR = 5.10, 95% CI: 2.88 to 9.02). The stratified analyses indicated that these relationships were particularly pronounced in the > 70 years and female subgroups.
conclusionThis study highlights the important impact of physical activity and body shape management on sleep disorders in older CMM patients.
