Exploring housing trajectories in later life and their links to demographic, socioeconomic and health characteristics: the register RELOC-AGE study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
introductionIn Sweden, most older adults continue to age in dwellings they have lived in for many years, with a small proportion relocating. Longitudinal studies examining relocation histories, especially among younger old adults and those beyond frail populations, are scarce. This study aimed to describe individuals who stayed in their homes (stayers) and those who relocated (movers) while identifying and describing the housing trajectories of the movers and how they were predicted by (recent changes in) civil status, children in the household and health characteristics in the Swedish population. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study population consisted of 106,962 adults born in 1957 and residing in Sweden. Movers were defined as individuals who had relocated at least once during 2013-2020. Data on housing, demographic, socioeconomic and health characteristics came from Swedish population registers. Based on housing type and tenure, housing trajectories were mapped using sequence and cluster analysis. We assessed the associations between the stayers and different relocation trajectories of movers and baseline demographic, socioeconomic and health conditions with the chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression.
resultsThe majority of participants did not relocate (N = 80,836; 76%). Among the movers (N = 26,136; 24%), eight housing trajectories were identified; three with relocations within the same and five transitioning into different housing types and tenures. Housing trajectories were predicted by disposable income, education, municipality type, changes in civil status and housing composition, as well as physical and mental health.
conclusionThe current study adds understanding of relocation trajectories as younger-old adults approach later life. Future research should consider adopting a life course perspective and a longer follow-up period to examine housing histories within different cultural and temporal contexts.
