Daily dynamics between self-perceptions of ageing and self-rated health: a lifespan perspective.

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
backgroundHow would you rate your health today? Self-rated health is a key indicator of overall well-being, yet little is known about how daily fluctuations in self-perceptions of ageing relate to day-to-day variations in health. This study investigated whether daily fluctuations in subjective age and awareness of age-related change are associated with variations in self-rated health across adulthood.
methodsFor 10 consecutive days, participants (N = 78, age range 20 to 81) completed daily questionnaires, via the m-path application, assessing their daily subjective age, awareness of age-related gains and losses, and self-rated health. Multilevel models were used to examine associations at both the between- and within-person levels, as well as moderation by chronological age.
resultsBoth average and daily subjective age were significant associated with self-rated health across the lifespan, such that feeling younger was related to better self-rated health. At the between-person level, higher awareness of age-related losses, but not gains, was associated with poorer self-rated health. In addition, chronological age moderated the associations between subjective age and self-rated health at both the between- and within-person levels. In particular, on days when they felt older than usual, younger participants reported worse self-rated health than older participants. challenging the notion that subjective age is only associated with outcomes in later life.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of considering self-perceptions of ageing as dynamic processes that shape daily health evaluations across the adult lifespan, including early and mid-adulthood.
