Active ageing behaviors among urban older adults in disaster-prone communities using confirmatory factor analysis of health behavior constructs.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Older adults in disaster-prone urban areas face elevated risks from environmental hazards, chronic disease, and social vulnerabilities. Although active ageing is widely promoted, limited evidence has validated its behavioral domains in hazard-prone urban contexts. This study aimed to examine the factorial structure of active ageing behaviors and identify sociodemographic influences among older adults in Bangkok, Thailand. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a multistage sampling design, involving purposive selection of disaster-prone districts followed by random sampling at subsequent stages, among 500 older adults in Bangkok. Data were collected through structured, interviewer-administered questionnaires based on the WHO Active Ageing Framework, covering six domains. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Generalized Structural Equation Modeling (GSEM) were performed using maximum likelihood estimation with robust standard errors. CFA supported a four-factor model comprising dietary behavior, stress management, self-care, and substance avoidance with significant loadings (β = 0.711-1.095) and excellent fit (CFI = 0.991, TLI = 0.972, RMSEA = 0.057, SRMR = 0.020). Substance avoidance and stress management were most salient. The six-factor model including exercise and oral care showed poor fit. GSEM indicated that male sex was negatively associated with active ageing (β = - 0.23, p < 0.001), while higher education, cohabitation, and chronic disease were positive predictors. The validated four-domain model highlights active ageing as both behavioral and socially embedded. Strengthening behavioral resilience and addressing social and environmental barriers are essential for interventions and policies in disaster-prone urban ageing populations.
