The association of self-rated health with physical activity and demographic factors: a study in primary care from Northwest of Iran.
Article in BMC primary care, 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
backgroundSelf-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study. We included data from 1223 individuals 18-64 years residing in Qazvin Province, located in northwest Iran. Participants were selected using the electronic health records in primary care and through a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Demographic and self-reported health information were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. SRH has been categorized ranging from very good to very poor. We estimated the Odds Ratio (OR) of suboptimal SRH in association with level of physical activity and adjusting for age, sex, marital status, and employment.
resultsIn this study, 407 (33.2%) of the participants, including 37% of female and 26% of male, exhibited sub-optimal SRH, while overall 34% reported no physical activity per week. The percentage of individuals with sub-optimal SRH was higher among those with no physical activity, older age groups, female sex and retirees. SRH was associated with having no physical activity (OR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.13, 2.14), older age, female sex (OR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.23, 2.48), and being retired (OR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.05, 3.96).
conclusionsAbout one-third of the individuals demonstrated suboptimal SRH. Health policymakers must promote physical activity programs, especially among older age groups, retirees, and females to improve SRH in the community.
