Walking pace and its association with osteoporosis and pathological fractures: insights from UK biobank.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Backgrounds: Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease. Previous research has indicated that various forms of exercise have different protective effects on bone health, yet there are limited studies on the impact of walking pace on bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal health. This study aims to investigate the correlation between usual walking pace and osteoporosis, including related fractures, while considering potential interactions with genetic vulnerability. Methods: Survey responses from 348,334 participants in the UK Biobank were analyzed, obtaining information on usual walking pace, BMD, osteoporosis incidence, and genetic vulnerability. Multiple linear regression, Cox proportional hazards regression models, and stratified analysis methods were employed. A weighted genetic risk score for osteoporosis was calculated. Results: Cross-sectional analysis revealed a notable upward trend in BMD and a downward trend in the risk of osteoporosis and fractures from slow to brisk walking pace ( Conclusions: The findings provide evidence that walking pace is closely related to the prevalence of osteoporosis and fracture incidence. Therefore, integrating walking into national physical activity initiatives and encouraging individuals to increase their walking pace could serve as an effective preventive measure against osteoporosis.
