Nutrient deficiency and physical inactivity in middle-aged adults with dynapenia and metabolic syndrome: results from a nationwide survey.
Article in Nutrition & metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis study examined the associations between dynapenia, metabolic syndrome (MetS), nutrient intake, and physical activity.
methodsWe used data from a cross-sectional study that included middle-aged men and women (40-64 years old) who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) between 2014 and 2017. Patients (n = 4700) were categorized into four groups based on diagnosis of dynapenia and MetS: dynapenic MetS (DM), dynapenia alone (D), MetS alone (M), and non-dynapenia and non-MetS (NDNM). Dynapenia was defined as the lowest tertile of the BMI-adjusted handgrip strength. MetS was defined as central obesity plus two or more of the following features: elevated fasting plasma glucose, blood pressure, or triglycerides, or reduced HDL cholesterol. Nutrient intake and physical activity were assessed via questionnaires.
resultsIn women, the DM group had a significantly lower intake of all nutrients except for total energy and carbohydrates compared to the NDNM group. In a model adjusted for age, osteoarthritis, and total energy intake, the DM group showed higher odds ratios (ORs) for not practicing resistance training (men: OR (95% confidence intervals (CI)) = 1.64 (1.22-2.20); women: OR (95% CI) = 2.26 (1.59-3.21)) and for engaging in physical activities below 600 metabolic equivalents of tasks per week (men: OR (95% CI) = 1.36 (1.05-1.78); women: OR (95% CI) = 1.29 (1.02-1.63)) than the NDNM group. The women in the DM group had significantly higher OR for leisure-related moderate (OR (95% CI) = 2.00 (1.49-2.68)) and vigorous (OR (95% CI) = 1.76 (1.10-2.82)) physical inactivity than in the NDNM group.
conclusionsThis study showed that the combination of dynapenia and MetS was associated with poor nutrient intake in women and low physical activity in both sexes. These findings provide a foundation for developing intervention strategies to address dynapenia and MetS.
