Intrinsic factors associated with engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviors for dementia risk reduction in midlife.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia. Behavior & socioeconomics of aging, 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: Intrinsic motivation is critical for dementia prevention but remains poorly understood. Methods: A total of 347 middle-aged adults completed questionnaires on intrinsic factors for dementia prevention, demographics, dementia risk, and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Latent profile analysis (LPA) grouped participants with similar intrinsic patterns. Subgroup differences in demographics, extrinsic factors, and healthy behaviors were examined. Results: LPA identified four intrinsic profiles: Profile 1 had low motivation; Profile 2 had high motivation and self-efficacy, but poor dementia knowledge; Profile 3 had moderate motivation; and Profile 4 had low motivation and high apathy. Subsequent analyses showed that profiles further differed on extrinsic factors, demographic characteristics, and engagement in health behaviors. Specifically, Profile 1 had the lowest dementia risk, best sleep quality, and least loneliness; Profile 2 had the highest income, greater dementia risk, highest cognitive activity, and greatest loneliness; Profile 3 had more caregiving experience and moderate engagement in all healthy behaviors; and Profile 4 had lower incomes, the worst health, and lowest engagement in all healthy behaviors. Discussion: Results identified groups of middle-aged adults with distinct intrinsic patterns who also differed in demographic/extrinsic factors and health behaviors. These profiles may benefit from different types of intervention strategies for dementia prevention.
