Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity and the Risk of Non-Neoplastic Digestive System Diseases in Postmenopausal Women: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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
Background: Non-neoplastic digestive system diseases (NNDSD) are highly prevalent in older adults and impose a substantial health burden, particularly among postmenopausal women. Dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO), characterized by the coexistence of reduced muscle strength and abdominal obesity, has been associated with a range of chronic diseases. However, its association with incident NNDSD in postmenopausal women remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to explore the prospective association between DAO and incident NNDSD in postmenopausal women. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 2115 postmenopausal women drawn from five waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Participants were classified into four mutually exclusive groups: non-dynapenic and non-abdominally obese (ND/NAO), abdominal obesity alone (ND/AO), dynapenia alone (D/NAO), and concurrent dynapenia and abdominal obesity (D/AO). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between DAO and incident NNDSD, defined based on self-reported physician diagnoses obtained through standardized questionnaires. Results: Over a 9-year follow-up, 446 participants developed NNDSD. The incidence of NNDSD was highest among participants in the D/AO group. The D/AO group showed a significantly higher risk of NNDSD compared to the ND/NAO group (HR: 1.892, 95% CI: 1.256-2.849). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. Conclusion: DAO is independently associated with an increased risk of NNDSD in postmenopausal women. Given the observational nature of this study, the findings should be interpreted with caution and do not imply causality. Further prospective and interventional studies are warranted to confirm these associations and to evaluate their clinical and preventive implications.
