Psychometric evidence of the WHO-5 well-being index in a sample of participants from hospitals and older adults care centers in Peru.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: The study of general well-being in older adulthood is of vital importance due to the negative repercussions of aging on daily life. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the psychometric properties of the WHO-5 well-being index in a sample of participants from hospitals and older care centers in Peru. Method: A total of 661 older adults from Metropolitan Lima participated in the study (65% women and 35% men), aged between 60 and 93 years. They concurrently completed the WHO-5 well-being index and the Family APGAR. Results: The findings demonstrated adequate fit indices for the original five-item model: Discussion and conclusions: The WHO-5 well-being index, when applied to older adults in Peru, confirms its unidimensional structure, demonstrates evidence of validity and reliability, and is an equivalent measure across sexes. This suggests its utility as a brief, reliable instrument for evaluating well-being in this population.
