Leisure activity participation, health status, and subjective well-being of adult women: a cross-sectional study from a life cycle perspective in China.

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
Objective: Based on life cycle theory, this study aims to explore the changes in leisure activity participation, health status, and subjective well-being among women at different life stages, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Additionally, the study examines the moderating effects of demographic characteristics. Methods: This study used data from the China General Social Survey (CGSS) and employed a cross-sectional research design to compare data from women in early adulthood, early maturity, and late maturity. Stepwise regression and mediation analysis were applied to systematically examine the complex relationships between leisure activity participation, health status, and subjective well-being. Results: The results indicate that women in early adulthood report significantly higher levels of subjective well-being and health status than those in early and late maturity stages. Furthermore, leisure activity participation showed significant changes across the life cycle. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that the impact of leisure activity participation on subjective well-being varied across different life stages, but health status remained a key determinant of well-being. Mediation analysis further confirmed that health status partially mediated the relationship between leisure activity participation and subjective well-being. Conclusion: This study provides an in-depth examination of the dynamic changes in women's subjective well-being across the life cycle and highlights the strategic importance of leisure activities in enhancing women's quality of life. Future research could employ longitudinal tracking designs to explore the causal mechanisms between these variables in greater depth, while also considering the multifaceted influences of cultural background and psychosocial factors.
