Association between subjective well-being trajectories and anxiety/depression: findings from a nationally representative cohort study.

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: Subjective well-being (SWB) in older adults is a key indicator of psychological health and quality of life. However, research on trajectories of SWB is quite limited, and little is known about the relationship between anxiety/depression and trajectories of SWB in older adults. This study aimed to identify the trajectories of SWB in older adults and examine the association between anxiety/depression and trajectories of SWB. Methods: A population-based cohort study, the National Health and Aging Trends Study in the United States from 2015 to 2022. SWB was assessed through 11 items, including positive/negative emotions (4 items), self-realization (4 items), self-efficacy, and resilience (3 items). Anxiety/depression symptoms were assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4). The group-based trajectory modeling identified trajectories. The design-based weighted multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the association between anxiety/depression and SWB trajectories. Results: Of 5,057 included older adults, 59.22% were aged between 60 and 74 years old, 55.5% were female, and 82.23% were non-Hispanic White. Four trajectories of SWB were identified: Group 1 ( Conclusion: The trajectories of SWB varied among older adults. Anxiety/depression was significantly associated with SWB trajectories. Evidence-based effective strategies for the management of anxiety/depression are needed to maintain SWB at a high level in older adults. What does this paper contribute to the broader global clinical community?: •This study identifies four distinct trajectories of subjective well-being in older adults.•Anxiety/depression is significantly associated with subjective well-being trajectories.•Our study highlights the importance of screening and longitudinally tracking SWB in older adults.•Effective prevention and intervention of anxiety/depression is a high priority to maintain or improve SWB in older adults.
