Influence of pension availability on the association between work conditions and labor market exit for health reasons: evidence from a Taiwanese older adults cohort.

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
backgroundWhile the impact of poor working conditions on workers' intention to leave the job is well-established, limited research has examined how the availability of pension benefits influences the association between adverse psychosocial work conditions and labor market exit for health reasons among middle-aged and older workers. This study explored the association of psychosocial and physical work conditions with labor market exit for health reasons among individuals with varying pension statuses.
methodsThis study utilized data from the Healthy Aging Longitudinal Study in Taiwan (HALST), which investigated reasons for labor market exit among 2,143 adults aged 55 and older. Work conditions were aggregated by occupation based on data from the Occupational Safety and Health Surveys, which included nationally representative employees, and subsequently linked to HALST data. We examined the differential impact of psychosocial and physical work conditions on health-related labor market exit, compared to old age retirement, among individuals with and without pension coverage.
resultsAmong 2,143 study participants, 7.3% left the labor market due to health reasons, and 39.9% reported not having a pension. Individuals with low job control (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05 to 4.73) and high physical demands (aOR = 2.72, 95% CI = 1.26 to 5.85) were more likely to exit the labor market for health reasons compared to old age retirement. Among participants without a pension, adverse work conditions were significantly associated with labor market exit for health reasons.
conclusionsAdverse work conditions were associated with labor market exit for health reasons particularly among older adults without pension coverage. Implementing policies to improve psychosocial work conditions and enhance the pension system is warranted.
