Public health implications of lifestyle and sociocultural determinants of stroke risk and serum biochemical markers among older adults in northern Thailand.

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: Thailand is entering a fully aging society. The northern region has a unique socio-cultural landscape that may influence the risk of stroke. However, evidence on the interplay between lifestyle and socio-cultural factors and serum biomarkers in Thai elderly remains limited. The study aimed to investigate the correlation between socio-demographic, lifestyle, socio-cultural factors and stroke risk, as well as to evaluate the association between these factors and serum biochemical markers in elderly individuals residing in northern Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among older adults (aged 60 years and older) with chronic conditions ( Results: Of the 318 elderly participants, 229 (72%) were classified as at risk for stroke. Stroke risk was significantly associated with older age (70-79 years), hypertension, lower educational attainment, presence of underlying medical conditions, fasting glucose levels in the diabetic range, high total cholesterol, and elevated homocysteine levels. In the linear regression analysis, age was inversely associated with fasting glucose and cholesterol levels. Fat intake predicted higher cholesterol levels, sweet intake predicted higher fasting glucose levels, and salt intake predicted elevated homocysteine levels. Conclusion: These findings indicate that stroke risk among older adults in northern Thailand is influenced by biological aging and metabolic dysregulation. Educational disparities, possibly reflecting differences in health literacy, may further contribute to stroke vulnerability. Blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid parameters, and homocysteine levels highlight the role of interconnected metabolic pathways in shaping cerebrovascular risk.
