Association between lifestyle behaviors and body mass index with blood pressure classifications among older adults with hypertension in China.

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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between lifestyle behaviors and body mass index (BMI) along with their potential interactions with the severity of blood pressure (BP) classifications among older adults with hypertension. Methods: Among 17,441 participants, lifestyle behaviors were assessed, including smoking, drinking, dietary patterns, physical activity, and sleeping. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the association between lifestyle behaviors and BMI with BP classifications, and multiplicative interactions were included to estimate potential interactions. To explore variations, analyses were also stratified by BMI. Results: High-risk dietary pattern and obesity were negatively associated with lower BP classifications, with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for normal BP, high-normal BP, and grade 1 hypertension in high-risk dietary pattern were 0.74 (0.57-0.95), 0.69 (0.54-0.90), 0.75 (0.59-0.95), and the ORs (95% CIs) in obesity were 0.61 (0.53-0.69), 0.77 (0.67-0.89), 0.82 (0.73-0.93). Compared with never drinking, former drinkers had higher odds of having normal BP (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.15-1.82), high-normal BP (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.02-1.67), and grade 1 hypertension (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.01-1.58). The multiplicative interaction between drinking status and BMI was found on BP classifications ( Conclusions: Poor diet and obesity are associate with severe BP, particularly among non-drinking older adults, suggesting targeted interventions in rural primary care.
