Productive aging patterns and associations with health outcomes among Chinese urban older adults.
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 1 paper.
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
backgroundPrevious studies have primarily examined the impact of a particular type of productive activity on the health of older adults. However, older adults' activity participation is multifaceted and simultaneous, and it is relatively unknown what patterns of productive aging will affect the health of older people in urban areas of China. The mechanisms linking them have also not been thoroughly explored. This study identified the patterns of productive aging among urban Chinese older adults and tested whether the latent classes were associated with their health.
methodsThis study analyzed 1,258 urban older adults from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey. Patterns of participation in productive activities among urban older adults were first investigated using latent class analysis (LCA). Then, explore associations between the patterns and health using linear regression models and an automatic Bolck, Croon, and Hagenaars (BCH) approach.
resultsOlder adults' participation in productive activities in Chinese cities can be divided into three patterns: informal activities, caregiving-social-leisure, and caregiving-centered. Informal activities pattern have the best health outcomes.
conclusionsThis study identified heterogeneity in the participation of productive activities among older adults in urban China and revealed their co-occurring patterns. This information is critical for tailoring interventions and designing programs that can improve the health of urban older adults and provide valuable insights for follow-up research and policy formulation.
