Changes in life satisfaction and leisure-time physical activity across retirement transition: the FIREA cohort study.
Article in European journal of ageing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retirement brings changes in daily life, which may have implications for life satisfaction and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). This study sought to examine associations between concurrent changes in life satisfaction and LTPA across retirement, addressing gaps in understanding how life satisfaction influences physical activity in retirees. Study included 3535 public sector workers (83% women) from the Finnish Retirement and Aging study with annual surveys before and after retirement. Participants were categorized based on their Life Satisfaction Scale responses before and after retirement into Stable Low, Low-Increasing, Intermediate-Decreasing, Stable Intermediate, Intermediate-Increasing, High-Decreasing, and Stable High life satisfaction. Self-reported weekly LTPA during past 12 months was summarized as metabolic equivalent hours (METh/week). Generalized estimating equations were used to examine changes in LTPA across retirement transition among these groups, adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related factors. Compared to Stable Low, Low-Increasing life satisfaction was associated with increasing LTPA (mean difference 4.16 METh/week, 95%CI 0.85 to7.47). Compared to Stable Intermediate, Intermediate-Increasing life satisfaction was associated with increasing LTPA (mean difference 1.96 METh/week, 95%CI 0.03 to 3.88), while Intermediate-Decreasing life satisfaction was linked to decreasing LTPA (mean difference -3 .79 METh/week, 95%CI -7.62 to 0.04). No differences were observed between Stable High and High-Decreasing life satisfaction. Changes in life satisfaction during retirement transition are associated with changes in LTPA, especially among those with low or intermediate life satisfaction before retirement. Further research is needed to assess, whether supporting life satisfaction in retirees could foster greater engagement in LTPA.
