Associations of sleep quality, nutrition, community participation, cognitive function, depressive symptoms, and fall risk in older adults with dynapenic abdominal obesity: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2026. 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
backgroundDynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) is known to increase the risk of physical decline and falls in older adults. However, it is still unclear how different factors—such as sleep quality, nutrition, social participation, cognition, and mood—work together to influence this risk. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with fall risk—specifically sleep quality, nutritional status, community participation, cognitive function, and depressive symptoms—among community-dwelling older adults with dynapenic abdominal obesity.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study with 180 adults aged 65 and above. Validated questionnaires were used to measure sleep quality, nutritional status, community participation, cognitive function, depressive symptoms, and fall risk. Data were analyzed using t-tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression.
resultsAlthough poor sleep showed differences in the univariate analysis, it did not remain significant in the multivariable model. Older adults with malnutrition, lower community participation, cognitive decline, or depressive symptoms were more likely to have a higher fall risk. Logistic regression further indicated that nutritional status (OR = 7.03, p = .013), community participation (OR = 0.91, p = .031), cognition (OR = 6.18, p = .028), and depressive symptoms (OR = 9.23, p = .008) were significant predictors.
conclusionFall risk in older adults with DAO is influenced by a mix of physical, psychological, and social factors. Community nurses and other health professionals should routinely check nutrition, cognitive function, and emotional health to identify those at higher risk early and provide more holistic, preventive care that supports safe aging.
